When you have the composer & original artist and the President of the United States in the audience singing along, you know you're doing well Sara Bareilles - You've Got a Friend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UmVBqRsYJk
Have been trying to embed the video into the post but without success

Knew this was a cover but always assumed from a reggae artist. Last week heard the Neil Diamond original and was quite surprised.

I grew up listening to UB40 and many other reggae bands that i still like to listen to. UB40 were in my opinion one of the best cover version bands of their time. I used to try and find the original artists to most of their covered songs and some of them were also as impressive.

Got another one by Big Country. A cover of Roxy Music's Prairie Rose.
I got my hands on this version a few weeks ago and I love it.
