GREAT COVERS OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS
For many an original song that they love cannot and will not ever be duplicated by a cover, but there are many songs that have been done equally (debatebly) well by others..
So do you have favorites?
What are your favorite covers of favorite songs?

Since we're on the subject of "Little Wing," here's Sting's version; and his bluesy "Wind Cries Mary" duet; and his rockin' version of "Purple Haze"

This may have been 'covered' here already, but I went 1/2 way and didn't find it, so....
The Jimi Hendrix song Little Wing.
Epically and majestically covered by Eric Clapton and [mostly] Duane Allman as Dominos,
came out a totally different song, raising it to the level of an anthem.
There's a youtube from back then, personally I like the studio version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G5CJFrO2Oc
Covered as instrumental by Stevie Ray Vaughan, more true to original
Covered by Steve Vai, also more true to the original.
Covered by Pearl Jam straight up [called it Maggot Brain], mixed it into Yellow Ledbetter.
Others covered it as well. What other song was turned into 'a hit' by 4 of the greatest guitar players ever [ not to mention the vastly underrated Mike McCready ] ?

Speaking of great Three Dog Night covers, how about:"Eli's Coming",
their cover of Laura Nyro's great song. Absolutely great version.
Vocals on that cut jump off the record.
