For years I thought this was a Pretenders track. Instead it's two of Whitney Houston's cousins, Dee Dee and the uncredited not-yet-PhychicNetworkHawker Dionne on backing vocals. This version crushes all others:

Af far as I know, The Pretenders never covered this song. The more famous ones were by Linda Ronstadt and Van Halen.

You're right, Ronstadt, not Hynde.

Not strictly a cover, but a piece of music trivia I like to whip out lol... All in the Game the hit released in 1958 by Tommy Edwards.
The original instrumental piece, a "Melody in A Major," was written in 1911 by Charles Dawes, who later became vice President under Calvin Coolidge. (lyrics written/added by Carl Sigman in 1951)

"Turn! Turn! Turn!" - The Byrds was written by Pete Seeger and originally released as "To Everything There is a Season" performed by The Limeliters. Seeger released his own version a few months after The Limeliters did. Seeger also wrote "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" which The Kingston Trio recorded and released in 1961 after they had heard it performed by Peter, Paul, and Mary.

That doesn't make it a "cover" unless they also record it first. Did the BB ever record it?

Like others have done in this thread (without being called out) it was an interesting piece of trivia.
But to answer your question, Captain and Tennille and David Cassiday both recorded the song before Barry Manilow. Bruce Johnston recorded it after Manilow.

Yeah the thread is a month old and was pretty much dead, so side tracks and diversions is fine.
Cliff's post reminded me of one I like, totally not a cover, just sampling.
1+1+1=3 You just have to play the first five seconds.

I first heard John Denver sing "Angel from Montgomery" when I was in high school (1973). It was one of the first songs I learning to play on guitar.
RESPECT by Otis Redding. I thought it was an Aretha Franklin song until I was reading a marriage book called "Love and Respect." In the book he said the song RESPECT was an Otis Redding song, later covered by Aretha. It turns out he was right.
Otis Redding released the song in 1965. Aretha Franklin covered it in 1967.

"Here Comes My Baby" was first recorded by The Tremeloes 1967. It was written in 1967 by Cat Stevens, who released it a few months after The Tremeloes. Their version was a hit; his was not.
