Earth, Wind and Fire - Got to Get You into My Life (original by The Beatles) 
 
Lennon/McCartney wrote it and The Beatles performed it first, but it turned into one of EWF’s signature songs.

Joey Ramone - What a Wonderful World  (Original performed by Louis Armstrong) 
 
Knowing that it was recorded when Joey had cancer and then released posthumously adds a bittersweet edge to this version.

Anything Goes – Harper’s Bizarre (originally performed by Ethel Merman) 
 
A side note …  I was maybe 12 when this song was released as a single in 1967, and I bought a copy as a 45-rpm single.  When I got home I was playing it, and my mother (who would have been in her early 40s at the time) heard it and suddenly began singing along with it – because back in the 1940s she had sung live on the radio and of course knew the song from back then.   Totally blew my mind!!  
And then – she proceeded to nuke what was left by digging out a copy of the song from her collection of 78-rpm records and playing it for me.

His version made it to #1  on the charts in the UK. I heard him perform it live 2 years ago; he doesn’t have the voice he did in 1970, but he’s still great.
