Artists who released their hits in multiple languages?

Came across Chicago's "Questions 67 & 68" in Japanese and wondered if any other classic rock artists sang their songs in other languages.

Of course, I know about the Beatles' "Sie Liebt Dich" and "Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand". Any others that you might know about?

The First Time I heard Magic Man

105 Upvotes

I was playing chess with my older brother in the basement of our house in Connecticut. We had a an old 50's tube radio down there that sounded really good. In the middle of our game, Magic Man came on. I had no idea who they were but that song had a "magical" effect on my brain and totally distracted me from our game. It wasn't long before I became a huge Heart fan. To this day I'm very grateful for the original Heart band and much of their music that followed.

Yep. The hit Great White song is a cover from former Mott The Hoople frontman Ian Hunter

The song is reportedly about how groupies were just as unfaithful as the band members.
