Tainted Love. Was always familiar with the Soft Cell version like most people, but it was originally a 60s soul song by Gloria Jones

Just learned Black Magic Woman was first a Fleetwood Mac song and not Santana.

Red Red Wine by Bob Marley UB40
Baby I Love Your Way by Bob Marley Big Mountain
Bad Boys by Bob Marley Inner Circle
The Pina Colada Song by Bob Marley Rupert Holmes
and last but not least, Walking on the Moon by Bob Marley. The Police

"One is the Loneliest Number" was written by Harry Nilsson, not Three Dog Night.

I still contend that Three Dog Night's version is superior.

Before Soft Cell made his famous cover version of "Tainted Love" in the 1980s, the song was originally performed by Gloria Jones in the 1960s...
