Reportedly when Franklin heard Joplin's cover she didn't even recognize it as the same song

Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". One of those songs where the cover has become the version you think of first, whenever it is mentioned.

From the "I bet you didn't know this was a cover" department:

What you probably didn't know is that it's a cover of a song from 1982 by punk band Frantic Elevators

Since I mentioned The Supremes version of Someday We'll Be Together, it seemed like a good time to note that it is a cover.
The original was by Johnny and Jackey in 1961

Another one you probably didn't know was a cover, from 1987
<embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/4BQLE_RrTSU?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BQLE_RrTSU
Originally recorded by Franke and the Knockouts in 1981. Franke Previte wrote the song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RquN0kdR9qE
They used the Franke and the Knockouts version when filming Dirty Dancing but ultimately failed to get the rights and had to have Medley and Warnes record it. Patrick Swayze reportedly preferred the original.

Sort of, but not exactly. Previte indeed wrote the song, but he wrote it specifically for the movie. He recorded a demo of it, but the producers didn't plan to use his version. That demo was then later recorded on a reissue of that Franke and Knockouts 1981 album - it didn't appear on the original because it hadn't be written yet.
Had the song been written and released earlier - it would not have been eligible for the Best Original Song Academy Award that it won for 1987.

In honor of the death of Paul Revere (of the Raiders) over the weekend, let's note that the band's biggest hit, Indian Reservation, was a cover.
I posted the Raiders hit 1971 version in Revere's RIP thread here:
http://boards.rebkell.net/viewtopic.php?t=82078
The original was by an actual Native American, Marvin Rainwater, in 1959

Arthur Alexander's version does not have the "Hunk-a Hunk-a Burning Love" outro

One of my favorite recent covers is Clapton's rendition of Little Wing on his Live in San Diego album (with Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall II).
This Hendrix piece is obviously oft-covered, but another one of my favorite (and different than usual) renditions of Little Wing is by The Corrs. If you heard this without knowing its origin, I doubt you would associate it with Jimi Hendrix.
