Tom Waits; a long list of course but here’s a couple.And a whole album of Waits covers by Holly Cole: Temptation. My favorite track is The Briar and the Rose.
Temptation; by Diana Krall
Invitation to the Blues; by Jennifer Warnes
Cover songs that are better than the originals.
There is an active thread about terrible cover songs so I thought I'd start one about cover songs that are better than or have completely eclipsed the originals. I'll start:
Randy Newman wrote Momma Told Me Not to Come for Eric Burdon who recored it with the Animals and Newman recorded it too. I have the Newman version and like it but Three Dog Night really seem to capture the mood of the song best in my opinion.
