You have listed some great songs there. Good covers feature the artist breathing new life into someone else's songs.
My absolute favourite is Aretha Franklin's version of Respect. Most people think of it as her song. Otis Redding had recorded the song in 1965 and it had had gone top 5 on the black charts and top 40 on the pop charts.
Producer Jerry Wexler had come across Redding's song and brought it to Franklin's attention. While Redding's version was popular among his core R&B audience, Wexler thought the song had potential to be a crossover hit and demonstrate Franklin's vocal ability. Together with Aretha's sisters, Carolyn and Erma, singing backup "Respect" was recorded on Valentine's Day of 1967.
During the recording process, a bridge was added to Redding's original composition. Another addition was King Curtis' tenor saxophone and the slicker production of Wexler and co-producer Arif Mardin. The resulting song was featured on Franklin's Atlantic Records debut album, I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You. As the title track became a hit at both R&B and pop radio, Atlantic Records arranged for the release of the "Respect."
Franklin's rendition found even greater success than the original, spending two weeks atop the Billboard Pop Singles chart, and for eight weeks on the Billboard Black Singles chart. It also became a hit internationally, reaching number ten in the United Kingdom, and helping to transform Franklin from a domestic star into an international one. Even Otis Redding himself was impressed with the performance of the song, and at the Monterey Pop Festival in the summer of the cover's release, he was quoted playfully describing "Respect" as "a song a girl took away from me".
The Johnny Cash version of Hurt originally performed by the Nine Inch Nails is another cover version that breathes new life in it.
Take care TCB.
