Surprising Original Songs (that were made more popular by their cover versions)

subjective [Edit] [Delete] 14:46, 8 May '13

I thought of this because of the "stronger emotional weight" covers thread.

Are there any songs that you would be surprised to learn that there is an original? or songs you already knew were a cover but the original sounds a lot different.

The first one I think of is James Ray "I've Got My Mind Set On You"
which is the original 0f the George Harrison '87 version!!!!

any others that you can think of?
