what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?

The first ones to come to mind are Whitney’s version of I Will Always Love You and Allen Stone’s Georgia On My Mind but I would love to hear other contributions as well! I feel like there are a lot of songs where a covered version gets more popular than the original and people end up not realizing that it is a cover (ex. i had a friend that genuinely believed the Jonas Brothers wrote Year 3000). so, what‘a a song that was written by one artist but (figuratively) owned by another?

Eric Carmen lifted Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto. Some may remember the song All by Myself.

Also Never gunna fall in love again.  That was Rach's symphony No 2.

Different genres, so no comparison.

I see Joe Cocker mentioned and I think of A Little Help from my Friends.  Better than the Beatles?  Possibly.
