When Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton did the Bee Gees' song Islands in the Stream as a duet, they really knocked it out of the park.

Not sure who is covering who, since Carole King originally wrote (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman for Aretha to record, and both of their versions are great in their own styles. But if you haven't seen this video of Aretha paying tribute to Carole at the Kennedy Center in 2015, you've gotta check it out: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XHsnZT7Z2yQ

The End Of The World was done by so many people; I don't know the original. But I like the Herman's Hermits version.

I don't know if this counts. Simon & Garfunkel wrote this for another band and they never really played it themselvs:

Cyrcle; Red Rubber Ball

Correct, Paul Simon wrote the song with Bruce Woodley of The Seekers, but S&G never recorded it. They did sing it in concert where it was recorded and later added to a compilation album (Old Friends). This is from the 1967 concert at Lincoln Center.

Great rendition, I'm sure Grace Slick, Jorma, Jack, and the rest would be very pleased.

Okay, here's one that y'all may not know is a cover song. I didn't either until I saw it on an AXS-TV program called Hits That Were Covers. A lot of music professionals didn't know it was a cover either. This one got the no. 1 ranking on the show.

Black Magic Woman - Santana (1970 cover)

So here's the original - Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green (Green wrote it) 1968

Absolutely great cover pick. People forget how great a guitar player that Peter Green was. Everybody knows Santana is.

I read a lot of comments on youtube by deep-seated, die-hard, blues fans who know the Green version. A lot of them think that Santana went too far with his arrangement, doing Green a great injustice.

On the other hand, Santana plays it the way he would have written it, and I think that is why a lot of folks like me think that it's a Santana song. And of course, Santana had the hit that's still playing around the world.

I just found this cool cover of All Along the Watchtower. Played by Czech guitarist Lukás Halfar, while riding a skateboard through the city.

I recently watched a replay of the John Lennon 75th Birthday Concert (Dec 2015) on AXS-TV. One of the most amazing performances that evening was this cover of Watching the Wheels by Aloe Blacc.
