Covers worthy of the original? (kbin.social)

What are some covers of classics that you think are worthy of the original? Like they update the style of the original instead of being a straight cover, but don't deviate from the spirit of the OG artist?

One of my favorites is Conro's cover of September
Keeps the spirit and feel of Earth Wind and Fire's original while updating it a bit to have a more modern electronic beat, without taking any crazy liberties.

I liked Billy Idol’s 1980’s cover of Mony Mony

Circle Jerks version of Fortunate Son

Guess CCR knows how to write a good song, as I'd put Ike and Ike and Tina Turner's cover of Proud Mary on this list.
