I heard all of UB40's cover singles before the original, since I was a kid in the 1990's.

Heard George Michael's version before I even learned it was done by Stevie Wonder in 1974. This is from George's 1990 album Listen Without Prejudice.

I heard Sheryl Crow's version before Rod's version... and didn't even know there as a Cat Stevens' version. I also heard Ro's version of "Have I Told You Lately?" before Van Morrison's version. Anything JJ Cale wrote and someone else recorded, I heard the latter version first.

Johnny Cash pretty much took "Hurt" from Nine Inch Nails and made it his own.
