I am another who generally prefers the orginal (Whitney Houston's cover of I Will Always Love You is an exception). I am not good at posting links to songs, but I have to say I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends, originally by the Beatles and outstandingly (?) covered by Joe Cocker.

 

[RedAngie]

Gloria Jones cover

 

[RedAngie]

Now for something really weird

Eurythmics

 

[AaronB]

Jeff Beck - Cause We've Ended As Lovers

And specifically this performance:

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

How bout a little Van Halen. Featuring David Lee Roth.
Originally by the Kinks. As good as the original was, this surpassed it.
