I can’t really say which one is better because they both have good qualities, but I’ve always been a fan of Phil Collins harmonizing. He nails it on so many of his songs with multi layers.

I wouldn't say as good as the original but Phil did a more than admirable job. Sometimes I don't think people realize just how successful his solo career was. He was a hit machine in the 80's.

I'm looking to pick up this vinyl. One of the most stellar albums of the 80's.

As good as Archie Bell & The Drells?

Great in its own way...

Beyoncé’s Blackbird is just as good if not arguably better than the Beatles original. I love the vocal harmonizing in her version. Also fitting that a black woman, the subject of the original song, gets to do such a nice rendition of it.

The song Black Sheep from the Scott Pilgrim movie. Brie Larson’s cover is way more popular and widely seen as superior to Metric’s original. I think even Emily Haines, the lead singer of the band, said that she liked Brie’s version more.

The Passenger, original by Iggy Pop

their cover of Dear Prudence is also kick ass

Was this a duet?

Karen Carpenters voice had a one of a kind quality to it. Hard to really put my finger on why it was so magical
