Blinded By the Light- Manfred Mann... I didn't know until recently that Bruce Springsteen sang it first.

Jimi's version of All Along the Watchtower changes the melody, while Clapton's version of Crossroad Blues is a reworking to the point where they changed the name.

I like MMEB's cover better than Bruce's original, and was the same as you I always thought it was a MM song because I heard their cover first.

Apparently, Manfred Mann's Blinded By the Light was Bruce's only #1 hit as a songwriter...

^^The Pointer Sisters did another great cover of one of his songs, "Fire", but I don't know how well it charted.
