Great cover versions

[Marc v E]

As per the title, I would like to start a thread where the cover version of a song betters the original in performance and/or production quality.

Here goes my entry: Meshell Ndegeocello, Ventriloquism (whole album, my favorites are waterfalls and I wonder if I take you home)

Stranglers - Walk On By

Meiko - Stand by Me

Caterina Caselli -Tutto Nero(Paint it Black)

One classic example is Peggy Lee’s cover of Little Willie John’s Fever. But my personal favorite is Elvis Presley’s cover on Elvis is Back!.
