how many versions of the song knocking on heavens door and who were the singers apart from bob dylan?

Answer 1

found this of a website

Although it was originally recorded as a slow acoustic country song, "Knockin'" has been covered in many tempos and styles, by many artists, including Stained Class, The Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Seether, Cold Chisel, Guns N' Roses, Television, Avril Lavigne, Warren Zevon, Randy Crawford and Zé Ramalho(Brazil).

In 1998, South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo and U.S. country diva Dolly Parton teamed up to record the song.

The song was used to somewhat of a humorous effect in the 2005 film, Be Cool and thus it is featured on the movie's soundtrack. It was most recently featured on the reality show Rock Star: Supernova, performed by Toby Rand. The song was also sung by Korean artist Youme for the movie Windstruck

With the consent of Bob Dylan, a Dunblane musician named Ted Christopher wrote a new verse for Knockin' On Heaven's Door in memory of the Dunblane schoolchildren and teacher killed in the Dunblane massacre. The recording of the revised version of the song, which included brothers and sisters of the victims singing chorus and Mark Knopfler on guitar, was released on December 9, 1996 in the UK, and reached number 1. The proceeds went to charities for children.
