What are some of your favourite performances or recordings where the innovators of mid-20th century musical movements like jazz smooth, radio blues, easy listening - or any other popular musical subgenre that emerged during the pre-"rock 'n' roll" era - exposed a different dimension to compositions? It can be anythng.
For example, Frank Sinatra is often quoted on the Beatles. He became particularly noted for his embrace of the group's liquid ballad 'Something', with its elaborate, jazz-melodic guitar and bass work laid down in the studio by a seemingly intertwined George Harrison and Paul McCartney.

'Something' _ Frank Sinatra
Thanks!¬

Paul Anka's Rock Swings is pretty good.

Sinatra completely turned around on the Beatles.
"I rued the day the Beatles were unfortunately born into this world. They are, in my mind, responsible for most of the degeneration that has happened, not only musically, but in the sense of youth orientation politically, too. They are the people who first made it publicly acceptable to spit in the eye of authority."

How about the other way around? New musicians playing old standards (Gershwin)?

I'm not familiar with Andrea Marcovicci, thanks.
'When I'm 64' feels like a prime example of how Paul McCartney can evoke the grand old vaudeville shows of yesteryear but with real emotional, socio-political punch. Ray Davies and Graham Nash are English masters of this too. Always makes me think of George Roy Hill's irreverent tragi-comedy 'The World According To Garp' (1982).
