When Aretha Franklin covers Carole King's 'You make me fell like a natural woman' she just tears it up and makes it her own.
Favorite cover?
As a (minor) film buff, I almost invariably prefer originals. But when it comes to audio, I have found more than a few covers that I prefer to the originals. So, to kick things off, and with all due respect to Boz Scaggs, I absolutely LOVE this live Incognito version of Lowdown:

One of my favs and dare I say better than the original https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgFQ6WmxdMs Mumford n Sons The Boxer & I'm on Fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAl-vZsswb4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU6p7nsk9lo |
When I was composing my post in the ongoing "One Hit Wonder" thread I was reminded of the cover of "Harlem Nocturne" by The Viscounts, which was released in both 1959 and 1966. A totally unique and IMO fantastic cover of an old jazz standard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfAv8yAaHps (I suspect that the speaking which follows the recording is from the soundtrack of the 1983 film "Christine," which used The Viscounts’ recording in its soundtrack).
