Considering the life he lived, can't think of a better song he could have gone out with.
Was coming to poast it. Johnny turned that song into his own really. @AZDuck nailed that & Valerie. That Mark Ronson album has 3-4 great covers. Props also for Kate Nash, lovely bird she is.
Sure as hell don't like this emo shit band My Morning Jacket, nor do I really care for the original song. But this a great version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clmHEfxjI9k
