Cover Song vs Original Song Quiz!

Can you guess the original and cover artists for these songs? You may be surprised!

For Original guess the earliest single/album recording of a song

For Cover guess the most popular/earliest single/album recording of a song

I am in no way insinuating that these people stole the songs or that their version are worse

For "You Raise Me Up", you only need to give one of the two possible answers
