It would be more interesting (and not just the usual "my favorite covers" thread) if you limited it to three versions or more.

"I Heard It Through The Grapevine"

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles -- First recorded version. Berry Gordy thought it was weak and it wasn't released.

Gladys Knight & The Pips -- First released version. Hit #2 on the pop chart.

Marvin Gaye -- Recorded before Gladys Knight's version, but Berry Gordy didn't like it. As a result it wasn't released until more than a year after Gladys Knight. I was #1 for seven weeks and one of Motown's all time biggest sellers.

Creedence
