This song was written by Burt Bacharach and was originally sung by Dusty Springfield for the first Casino Royale soundtrack in 1967. Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye and The Zombies are some famous names that have since covered the song.
Blackbird by The Beatles:
Beatles songs have a charm in them which evidently draw people’s attention. This pretty song has been covered by Dave Grohl at the Oscars, plus Eddie Vedder and Bobby McFerrin sang it too.
Summertime by Abbie Mitchell:
Abbie Mitchell originally sang the song for the opera Porgy and Bess in 1935, but Janis Joplin’s version is probably the most well-known version of the song.

From ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ album, this is one of the Beatles' earlier works. Since then it has been reworked by Bob Marley, Barry Manilow and a bunch of others.
Over The Rainbow by Judy Garland:

Imagine by John Lennon:
There is an endless list of singers who have sung this one. Joan Baez, Queen, Ray Charles, Elton John have all given their personal touch to Lennon's famous track.
Cry Me A River by Julie London:
This jazzy and bluesy song was initially written for Ella Fitzgerald but Julie London gave a life to it in 1955.
Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles:
It’s a surprising choice, looking at The Beatles’ other hits, but it’s been covered over 100 times by artists like Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and most surprisingly The Swedish metal band Pain.
Satisfaction by Rolling Stones:
Not many artists have been able to match Jagger’s voice and Richards ’rock’n roll, but many have covered this song. Britney Spears, Vanilla Ice and Jimi Hendrix are in the list.
