What's your favorite remake of a song

How about Paul Young's remake of Hall & Oates' Every Time You Go Away?

cat power's 'satisfaction' is so nice

I can think of Alison Krauss's "When you say nothing at all", previously done by Keith Whitley.
Whitney Houston's "The greatest love of all", also done by George Benson.
Simply Red's "If you don't know me by now", done by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes.
Rebecca Pidgeon's "Spanish Harlem", done by Ben E. King.*
Blood Sweat and Tears's "God Bless this child", with the untouchable version, IMHO, done by Billy Holiday.
I am not quite sure who sang the original version of each song but those are my comparisons of remakes vs popular versions.
Happy Holidays to everyone and all the best in the New Year.
Keep the music playing.
Thanks, BJ.
* I could not find the Rebecca Pidgeon CD to verify this but I am pretty sure of it.

Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" on Grace. This song absolutely blew me away the first time I heard it and it's not even the best song on the album.
Three great cover albums are:
Annie Lennox -- Medusa
k.d. lang -- Hymns From The 49th Parallel
Patti Smith -- Twelve
