I see Joe Cocker mentioned and I think of A Little Help from my Friends. Better than the Beatles? Possibly.
what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?
The first ones to come to mind are Whitney’s version of I Will Always Love You and Allen Stone’s Georgia On My Mind but I would love to hear other contributions as well! I feel like there are a lot of songs where a covered version gets more popular than the original and people end up not realizing that it is a cover (ex. i had a friend that genuinely believed the Jonas Brothers wrote Year 3000). so, what‘a a song that was written by one artist but (figuratively) owned by another?

@bondmanp - a Rob Dickinson fan - yes!! You were aware that he is the cousin of Bruce? |
@zydeco1 thanks for turning me on to this young talent. It seems she specializes in sounding like other singers. Does she do her own thing yet??? |
[ to peterf6 ]... Yes, Angelina Jordan has written a few songs (see 3 links below)... FYI... she is only 16 years old now -- and is signed with Republic Records and is in their A&R development program (same label as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, John Legend, Drake, Florence & The Machine, etc.)... so big things likely to come. Here is her latest live performance at a music festival in Norway this month:
