00:13elevated Coen's song into an intimate spiritual experience.

00:17Number 9 Soft Cell's Tainted Love

00:37profound mortality-haunted reckoning.

00:40Number 7 Aretha Franklin's Respect

00:43Franklin's feminist reframing added her iconic spelling and powerful demand, turning Redding's

00:48plea into a civil rights rallying cry.

00:51Number 6 The Beatles' Twist and Shout

01:2480s pop feminism through quirky authenticity.

01:26Number 3 Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You

01:30Houston's orchestral build, from whispers to a seismic key change, transform Parton's country

01:36farewell into a universal power ballad.

01:39Number 2

01:40Sanit O'Connor's Nothing Compares to You

01:44O'Connor's spare arrangement and raw emotional delivery, highlighted by genuine tears in the video,

01:49redefined Prince's song.

01:51Number 1
