Link to Danger Man (Secret Agent in the US) Season/Series 3, Episode 3, "Sting in the Tail" 1965: at about 17 minutes, Jeanne Roland sings (or lipsyncs, but it sounds like her voice) the French lyrics to a nightclub band's performance of "She's Not There" (Roku; free with ads) (Link to Amazon "FreeVee")

And their NPR Tiny Desk Concert:
John Lee Hooker's song "No One Told Me", which apparently inspired Argent to write the lyrics of "She's Not There"...the title phrase alone particularly sticking with Argent.
The SecondHand Songs links to various covers of "She's Not There". Which reminds me of the lovely educational cover by HistoryTeachers, "Elizabeth I".
A recent, not completely accurate (nor even internally consistent) 2-part video
documentary tracing the Zombies' career, but still useful and enjoyable for the most part:

Loved SHE"S NOT THERE. But haven't heard most of these covers.
Well, Patti, that's why they're gathered...they struck me as good or engaging enough to interest those who loved the original. Of course, the Santana and (perhaps unfortunately to some extent) the Vanilla Fudge covers are or once were famous...the others considerably less so, I think.
I'm amused that one of the video posts replicates the error of the band's small label, and credits the song to Chris White, the other primary songwriter in the Zombies.
It's an unfortunate unintentional joke of history that the primary villain in the DANGER MAN episode is named Stephen Miller.
Cannot find Te Voilà by Jeanne Roland after serious seraching. Anybody have any idea where one might find it?
I couldn't find any standalone recording of the song online, or even for sale on older media (that last not too surprising...I should look for Roland's albums, but suspect this was treated as Work For Hire, so might not ever have been released for such a purpose even if she sought to have it available that way...). If you find such, I'd appreciate the pointer! (That's why the link is to the DANGER MAN video post.) I'm not sure there ever was a DANGER MAN album, either, so another possibility possibly foreclosed...but I'm not Certain of that, either. Sorry about that!
And this site for television and other soundtrack recordings: https://www.soundtrackcollector.com/title/37565/Danger+Man (perhaps not the most comprehensive, but it looks pretty good) has a number of SA albums, but none of them, unless bleary eyes mislead me, have the Zombies cover on it. It probably would've been a rights tangle beyond anyone's desire to loosen or cut the knot.
