Most played Loudermilk songs

On the pages of Last.fm one can see which songs are played most these days. That is, by those many, many people who have joined the Last.fm-community. Included are their Spotify-plays.
From these playlists I have compiled a list of most played Loudermilk covers for over the last 5 years. The listing is made August 2012.

By far favourite now is the song Turn Me On. Norah Jones' version is by miles the most played song now, and even the #2 spot is for the same song, in Nina Simone's version.
There's a lot of Tobacco Road in the top 100 list. Most played now is Jefferson Airplane's version.
It's a bit of a shame to see, how little songs performed by the composer himself are played nowadays. In this top 100 listing, John D. scores with only 2 songs: Language of Love at #49 and John's own, original killer version of Tobacco Road comes not higher than #79.
