: The Hollies and Ben E. King (sorry, no iTunes link available).
Which version keeps you spinning?

Hey Now Brian! How are we supposed to vote if the poll is closed 🙂
Never mind it works now… first vote in!
Wow, that Ben E. King version blew major chunks! … at least for me. Hollies FTW!
gotta be the Richard Shindell cover for me.
By the way, the Hollies version appeared on their 1975 album Another Night; it wasn't recorded especially for a Springsteen tribute as was mentioned during the podcast.
Ben E. King was the wrong guy to cover Asbury Park, IMHO of course. Hollies have this one for certain.
I agree with the previous comments. Ben E. King's version was a downer. It didn't have the verve of 4th of July at all. It made me wish they had eben played in the other order so that at least I would have the Hollies to walk away with, because the King version was downright depressing.
