The Beatles - Let it be
Carol Woods and Timothy T from the movie Across the Universe - Let it be
Across the Universe is a movie musical that tells the story entirely through the songs of The Beatles. To me, the version of Let it be in the movie was better than the original. It was more powerful, has more investment of emotion and more musically diverse. Here's another example.
The Beatles - Come Together
The Beatles - Come Together
Joe Cocker from Across the Universe - Come Together
Similar story here. Joe Cocker made it so much more powerful with his deep singing, turning what is sort of a steady musical ride to an interesting bumpy road of tunes.
To me, the covers were an improvement from the original. It is better musically and portrays the lyrics with a stronger pow. But it would have never existed if The Beatles never conceived it first. So maybe, everything has room for improvement; at least anything that is human made. Whatever we make can be a seed of inspiration for somebody else.
