I like this better than Aretha’s version. Aretha is great, but the backup singers are kind of meh. En Vogue harmonizes really well.

The Delfonics — Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)
Year: 1969
In the running for worst use of parentheses in song titles.
New Kids on the Block had a pretty good cover but it had a really awkward spoken word section.
Joe Cocker — With A Little Help From My Friends
Year: 1969
First heard this as the intro to The Wonder Years and I still associate it.
The Chi-Lites — Have You Seen Her
Year: 1971
The background dancing here is amazing.
First heard this by Hammer. His is good, but this version has more soul.
Bobby Byrd — Try It Again
Year: 1973
The guy who discovered James Brown and wrote a lot of his hits. They teamed up on “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine.”
The Bee Gees — Too Much Heaven
Year: 1978
So. Much. Falsetto! I am normally not a fan of this much, but Barry, Robin, and Maurice harmonize so well. We also got the horn section from Chicago here,too.
