Funny that nobody has mentioned maybe the two greatest covers ever:
Marvin Gaye's version of Gladys Knight's "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" and Aretha Franklin's version of Otis Redding's "Respect". |
These are truly great covers.

Best cover I heard this year was Mavis Staples doing Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Wrote a Song for Everyone"

The Band stole riffs from Creedence (and anyone else) on a regular basis.

I said Hurt previously, Johnny Cash, but I think that is the video more than the song.
My favorite cover song is probably, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Johnny Cash.
I like the history of it, and I like the song: KK literally woke up Sunday morning after a long night, went outside for a walk, came back to his domicile and wrote about what he saw, heard, smelled, and felt.
There is a line in there, "I'm wish'n lord that I was stoned". The show, network, that Johnny debuted the song on said he could not sing that line. He did it anyway.

My uncle loves "Meet Me on the Moon." "I Refuse to Be Lonely" is haunting. Especially, since it explains her feelings right before she took her own life. This song was her saying goodbye.

I love the Manilow penned "Somewhere In My Lifetime." Her voice was the ultimate tear.

It's not a cover - more a reimagining - but I love "Son of a Gun," the riff on "You're So Vain" that Janet and Carly Simon did a few year ago. Not the terrible remix that was on the radio, but the album version.

NO ONE can outdo ReRe. Nonetheless, En Vogue did a good job (even though ReRe is Queen).
