That Don't Pass Me By cover is outstanding!

Although he wasn't the first to record and release this song, Fats Domino co-wrote it. It's has been covered many times and one who did was Paul McCartney

 

[Raising Heel]

A few jazz interpretations by Cassandra Wilson.

Neil Young - Harvest Moon




The Monkees - Last Train to Clarksville




She also does a decent cover of Strange Fruit, the song first recorded and popularized by Billie Holiday, but so do about a zillion other artists.

 

[Raising Heel]

And a few country interpretations by Kelly Willis.

The Replacements - They're Blind




Nick Drake - Time Has Told Me
