Rod Stewart's cover of Cat Stevens song - First Cut is the Deepest.
Peter and Gordon cover of the Buddy Holly tune - True Love Ways.

Manfred Mann (of The Mighty Quinn fame) had a hit covering a song off of Bruce Springsteen's first album (Greetings from Asbury Park) - Blinded By the Light. It's not one of my favorites (it was overproduced IMO and I preferred Bruce's version) but I was reminded of it just now reading through a movie thread when BIM mentioned the movie The Mighty Quinn. It was simply too much of a coincidence for me to pass up.
