This is almost as good as Sade's version if that counts

Anything by Bob Dylan
We are spoilt for choice; One of the greatest lyricists of the 20th century and composer of world standing.
However no one would ever call him a great singer.
Therefore nearly every cover is better than the original

I submit the Byrds version of Mr Tambourine Man yer 'onour!
