I really wanted to post the DK’s cover of “I Fought the Law” but that’s a bit edgy for this forum
This one is great too though

But seriously, any cover by the Allman Brothers. For example:

“I’m a Man,” Chicago.
Terry Kath. Say no more. The man Hendrix said was better than he (Hendrix) was.
Then there’s Peter Cetera, Robert Lamm, Danny Seraphine, et.al.

Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin: “Piece of my Heart.”

This isn’t technically a cover, but it is a parody of “Nice for What” by Drake:

Don’t worry; absolutely no vulgar language or sexually explicit lyrics.

Speaking of Heart…“Black Dog.”

I’ve had a crush on those ladies for 40-odd years. Gorgeous, smart, uber-talented, and classy.

Something Stupid - The Mavericks (I think that is Trisha Yearwood singing with Raul Malo).

It was a great cover of Kristofferson, yes. But her psychedelic blues rock… epic.
Check out Mama Cass astounded, starting about 3;27…
