What a great thread! Sixty Years On by a very young Elton John is very good imo. On the eponymous album if interested. The Great Discovery is also good from the same album.

Yes, of course. How remiss of me. Amy was so able to express emotion in her composition and voice that there are many to choose from. Even more beautiful that that performance, however, was this one: Amy’s version of Donny Hathaway’s We’re Still Friends.
