Besides Lightfoot I've heard of other artists doing the same thing and in some cases having great successs with it.
James Taylor's Going To Carrolina In My Mind was originally recorded in 1968 and he remade in 8 years later and I think was more well known 2nd time around.
Isley Brothers Who's That Lady was first recorded in 1964 and a pretty good version though it was their 1973 version that charted.
Fleetwood Mac's Silver Spring I think was the B-side to Go Your Own Way and I don't know how well it did originally but a 1997 live version of it was released and I think it was more popualer 2nd time around.
