4Runner had a hit with the 2nd Cain's Blood. Other less famous recorded that song also - can't remember if it was the first or second version. They'd give their CDs to MJ at concerts and he'd leave them with me so I probably still have them.
Central Standard Time was recorded by The Kendalls. (I think they also recorded a country version of Bluer Than Blue but not sure.)
Mary Travers (Peter Paul & Mary) recorded a great version of Circus - it was my mom's favorite song before I even knew MJ wrote it. I played it for Michael in the 90's. He claimed he had never heard it or knew she recorded it. (I found that hard to believe.) And he sang it for me and I recorded it and it was the only time I had heard him sing it until I was given old demos and concert tapes from 1968-1970. I thought it was one of his best songs.
Judy Collins recorded Emilio.
Michael told me the daughter of a famous musician was going to record Leave It Alone but I don't think it happened. I can't remember the daughter or father's names. Lawson maybe?
Others have recorded the songs he covered because of his versions, like Jim Salestrom and Hobo Jim with Bristlecone Pine. Alison Kruass learned I'm Gone and Ghost in This House from MJ.
Sorry I don't know of any more...
