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.
Frank Zappa / Whippin’ Post Eva Cassidy / Fields of Gold SRV / Voodoo Chile Earth Wind & Fire / Gotta get you into my Life and my favorite... Roberta Flack / Bridge Over Troubled Water
Do find the last one and check it out. Perfection (at least to me).
