    Respect still for me. Aretha makes Otis Redding in his version sound like a whiny old tosser.... And the original is still a stone cold classic

    Roberta Flack's 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' by George Michael, is an excellent cover (as was the original, of course).

    Tom Petty - won’t back down is not bad.
    Petty's version is the original, there are a few other versions .. Petty wrote it with Jeff Lynne
    Always thought Jonny Cash wrote it - I was wrong!

    Never had any time for U2, but Johnny Cash's 'One' made me overcome my perfectly reasonable predudice.

    Tricky (Public Enemy) Black Steel pretty good as well. Beautiful South did loads over the years, difficult to choose.
