Manfred Mann somewhat specialised in creating hits from songs written by others. Blinded by the Light was written by and appeared on Bruce Springsteen’s debut album. The Mighty Quinn, another MM hit was written by Bob Dylan.
Arguably better versions, in some ways! I've never liked the Springsteen original - probably because I'd heard Manfred Mann's version so many times before I heard it.
