I thought the obvious winner was “Bette Davis Eyes” by Kim Carnes. No offense to Jackie DeShannon (who I otherwise love), but her original version sucks.

I also like what Kim did with Smokey Robinson’s “More Love” (complete with ABBA-esque synth intro and comedic music video). There’s also first-rate versions of “Do You Wanna Dance” and “To Love Somebody” in her discography. Though the bulk of her material is self-penned (or co-written with her husband Dave Ellingson), she is a superb interpreter of others’ material as well.
