I think Johnny Cash did this to a lot of songs. NIN's Hurt comes to mind. Willie Nelson is another that picks up other people's songs and owns them. Almost every song on Stardust is an example of this, IMHO.

Unchained Melody is one of those songs that I've never really liked but Willie's version is not just bearable, it's awesome.

Georgia on my Mind is also a superior version imo. As you already know, I think this is one of the best albums to own. Everyone loves it.
