I guess I have a slightly different take on this topic (GREAT topic, Wayne!!!). And that is, what songs, whether written by that artist or not, have become owned by artist/singers who made such a profound impression that their name just pops into your brain as, "awe, that's (fill in the blank)'s song... "
In addition to my prior list (Tears in Heaven, On the Road Again, Hallelujah, Hotel California, Whitney Houston's version of I Will Always Love You), I would add Don Ho's Tiny Bubbles, Elvis's Blue Suede shoes, Bill Haley and His Comets' Rock Around the Clock (about wore out that 45 when I first got it) . I wouldn't quite say that Whitney Houston "owns" the National Anthem, but, dang, her version just mesmerizes me. And even Dolly loves Whitney's take on I Will always Love You.
Keep 'em coming!
