Original Songs That You Didn't Know Were Covered By Other Artists

Yesterday I was listening to some songs on Youtube and realized that some great songs were originally recorded by other artists. Post your "obscure" originals that later were covered by mainstream (obscure songs by popular bands apply as well) artists.

Stevie Wonder - "Pastime Paradise" or popularly recognized as "Gansta's Paradie" by Coolio.

Argent - "God Gave Rock and Roll to You." You recognize the Kiss cover with REALLY different lyrics.

David Bowie - "The Man Who Sold the World." You recognize the Nirvana cover (if you pay attention, when the band finishes playing it, Kurt Cobain says it's a song by Bowie. Most have never paid attention to that.

All Along the Watchtower. Never been a Bob Dylan fan so I didn't know the song was his until I researched more about the Hendrix cover.
