How many times have you heard a song you thought was by one singer or group then found out it was from another? I'll give a couple of examples from the 1970s (the music I listened to in my youth):

Stories - "Brother Louie" - lead singer sounds like Rod Stewart:

Skylark - "Wild Flower" - lead singer sounds like Tom Jones:

God bless.

I own every single AC/DC album made. I thought I missed a bonus track or single the first time I heard this. Sounds like AC/DC.
