Probably a nil thread, but a couple spring to mind.
Please Please Me
John Lennon conceived this song originally in the style of Roy Orbison (a la In Dreams). George Martin then (correctly) said, "this would sound much better if you upped the tempo at bit" and the rest is history.
Anyway, here's a Roy Orbison tribute singing it probably more in the way it was originally envisaged.
Feels Like I'm in Love
Ray Dorset (he of the sideburns and Mungo Jerry) wrote this for Elvis (although I'm not sure if Elvis was aware of this and died shortly afterwards in any case). So the version we all know was done in a disco style by Kelly Marie.
But, as this Elvis impersonator demonstrates, Dorset was right all along.
