So..a no brainer for the best version:
4
3
2
1
My favorite 2 and 3 would be Jimi Hendix and Johnny Winter...

Version # 4 is the best of these.
#3 is an interesting little vignette of Elvis' life, imo. Take a great little rock & roller, add in a bunch of excess (baking vocals sound like a choir, huge band, etc) and you suck the life right out of it.

Never liked this much, but suspect there's some big names among the contenders.
1. 4
2. 1
3. 3
4. 2
2 suffers from poor sound quality. The rest of the field is quite even in my opinion.

For me Roy. I have alway liked the original the best. #1 is a close second. He was a favorite of mine. The other two as Simon Cowell would say, "are forgettable".

3 (I've heard him do this song better than here)
2 (don't know who this one is, and as someone else said, it loses out because of the sound quality)

Thanks to all who voted, pretty wel supported which is encouraging from my point of view
OK versions were
version 1 Jerry Lee Lewis
version 2 The Monkees(live poor recording but that is on Disc)
version 3 Elvis Presley
version 4 Chuck Berry
Still we have no 100% of everyone voting for same favourite but we came pretty close here
72% went for Chuck Berry
22% went for Jerry Lee Lewis
6% went for Monkees
0% went for Elvis
I was asked how come two acts got same percentage last week but didn't tie, that all depends on how many place a particular track has their second favourite etc.
Thanks again to all those who take the time to vote.
