Remakes that were better than the original

I can't think of a better example than "you ain't going nowhere". Yes, I know the Byrds version was technically released first, but Dylan's was still the original.

Obviously, Jim Croce’s version of “With A Little Help From My Friends” is the best, but another remake of Beatles classic may be my personal favorite in Stevie Wonder’s “We Can Work it Out”

Speaking of which, I am astounded no one has mentioned "All Along The Watchtower"
The inevitable "Hurt" did get posted very early on. Apparently that's the "Stairway To Heaven" of a certain generation
ETA: Oh I see "Tower" did get mentioned. My eye caught the inevitable "Hurt" right above it, and I focused on that.
Thought something had gone wrong with the universe for a moment.

The Flying Burrito Brothers - "Wild Horses"
I actually disliked this song for years, knowing only the Stones' lethargic version

Elvis wasn't perfect though:
Dave Edmunds - "Girls Talk"
EC's original
Alternate EC version
These last two are great in their own ways. In fact EC's vocals actually capture the paranoid misogyny of the lyrics better than Edmunds' carefree warbling. But the arrangement of the Edmunds/Rockpile cover makes it a power pop classic, even if it is completely at odds with the lyrics.

One more from Mr McManus
Elvis Costello - "How Much I Lied"
Gram Parsons' original
Don't get me wrong, I like the Parsons version. But I prefer the spare arrangement of the EC. Not to mention Elvis' paranoia fits better than Gram's what-the-hell let's-go-get-a-beer attitude.
