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:

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.

(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).

I'm pretty sure that Aretha's version of YMMFLANW pre-dated Carole's by years so that's not really a cover as I understand it.
