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...
Shirelles - "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" by Carole King Aretha Franklin - "Natural Woman" by Carole King Natalie Merchant - "Because the Night" by Patti Smith and Bruce Springsteen I'm sure there are many others but these 3 came to mind first.
These made extreme hits out of previously obscure songs
Black Eyed Peas - Where is the love Soft Cell - Tainted Love All Along the watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Der Kommissar - After the Fire Hound Dog - Elvis Presley Please don't let me be misunderstood - The Animals Red Red Wine - UB40 Shake rattle and roll - Bill Haley's Comets
