Great songs and artists who virtually own them?

In professional sports, when a player does such honor to his number that nobody else can live up to the legacy, that number is frequently retired. My question is simple: Are their artists that performed a great song so right, that nobody else can touch it and do justice to it? e.g., Etta James - "At last"; Billy Holiday (Sorry Frank) - "One more for my baby". IMO

Audiofeil, would that be Joey Heatherton and "Light My Fire"? Great songs but you didn't mention the artists who you believe own them.

Agree with Timrhu. After Dylan heard Hendrix, he adapted some of the style.
Phaelon, I think that's Audiofeil point . . . you just know!
