What's your favorite remake of a song

I know most remakes fall short of the original, but I suspect that it's usually due to the fact that the original was known and popular. The remake usually pales by comparison, but I've heard a few things lately that I really liked, and wondered what others have enjoyed...

Maura O'Connell's cover of The Beatles "If I Fell" is great.

As is Linda Ronstadt's cover of John David Souther's "Faithless Love".

Both are breathtaking vocals.
