These are songs written by one artists specifically for another artists and were never recorded by the original writer. NO COVERS. Writers must be performers themselves.
Madonna's Justify My Love was written by Lenny Kravitz

Jackson Browne gave Take It Easy to the Eagles in 1972, and I think one of the Eagles (Glen Frey) wrote the final verse to it. Browne did eventually record it, a year later.
Otis Redding wrote and recorded Respect two years before Aretha Franklin, but the two songs sound so different from each other. Still, her version, though she made it a signature song, is officially a cover.
