Lot's of different recording by Linda, but I remember when she first did "Heat Wave".

That's best cover band period!
Atlanta Rhythm Section's cover of "Spooky" by the Classics IV.
And one of my all time faves, Charles Earland’s cover of "More Today Than Yesterday’ originally by Spiral Staircase.
Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, reportedly in a single take.
I really like Johnny Cash's Personal Jesus. I'm not sure it's about the music as much as it is that he's singing Depeche Mode but I always enjoy it.
“Unchained Melody” Righteous Brothers cover of song from the movie “Unchainrd.”
”Love Hurts” Roy Orbison cover of Everly Brothers
”Love Hurts” Nazareth cover of Everly Brothers
”Top of the World” Shonen Knife cover of The Carpenters.
”Just One Look” Klaus Nomi cover of ?
It’s all covers, liking Name Of The Game best
My way cover and Mnozil Brass members intro!
Amazing cover of Tim Hardin’s folk song.

Deep Purples cover of Hey Joe
The version of Sound of Silence by Disturbed. Even Paul Simon likes it.
For me a cover adds to the original composition.
If it sounds just like it, that’s a copy period.
"With a Little Help From My Friends" Joe Cocker...
Yup, good one - TONY1954.
DeKay
Baby Please Don't Go
Van Morrison
Smokestack Lightening by the Yardbirds, Burnett (Howlin' Wolf) said it was the definitive version.
Sinead O'Connor's version of Elton John's "Sacrifice"
Steve'n'Seagulls cover of Thunderstruck
Adam Levine's cover of The Way You Look Tonight.

Brother Wiley's cover of "First We Take Manhattan" makes it rock out with guitar and electric bass. Qobuz has it. Rock fans, come dig Leonard Cohen in a really accessible way.
