What about David Bowie's version of 'Wild is the Wind' (original by Nina Simone)? For me it vies with Roxy's version of 'Jealous Guy' as my all time favourite cover. Both are utterly exquisite, haunting, and mind-blowingly good. Both far outstrip the respective originals. Also check out Marvin Gaye's version of 'Yesterday'. Best eve cover of that song imo.

Agreed, the only thing I'd add from the Lennon version is that stunning one beat of the snare drum as Lennon begins whistling (mid-way through the song) but the Roxy Music version is a landmark in synth-electro music and far superior in terms of production.
