Most folks are already familiar with Ocean Gypsy covered by Blackmore's Night:

Another Ocean Gypsy cover. This one is way above average, I think, because a) it's a capella; b) the singer maintains an interesting "hurried" pacing; c) she has that mystic/hippie look that fits the song and era; d) she's a good singer. The interpretation itself is closer to the Blackmore's Night one than the original.
