Hi Mark,
I knew about Go Now, but your note reminded me of this wonderful series
from Dangerous Minds about hits that were covers:

Don't skip the comment sections of those pages, since they include a lot
more.
Everyone here will know a lot of them (e.g. "Hanging on the Telephone",
"Tainted Love", "Mickey") but will probably find some surprises too. One
that surprised me was "Killing me softly":

me is "Bette Davis Eyes", which turns out to have been MOR honky-tonk swing
from 1974 by, of all people, Jackie DeShannon:

Best,
Daniel
p.s. Thanks for your periodic keepalive emails to this list! They're fun to
