Does anyone know of any Dylan covers that were released (and popularized) before Dylan's version was released?

Here's the list I have now, please correct me if I'm wrong, and of course, please tell me more:
"The Mighty Quinn" -Manfred Mann
"Tomorrow is a Long Time" -Elvis Presley
"Paths of Victory" -Pete Seger
"Farewell" -Pete Seger (has Bob's version even been released? According to his website on the lyrics page, it hasn't)
"Quit Your Low Down Ways" -Peter, Paul, and Mary
"Lay Down Your Weary Tune" -The Byrds

I know "Blowin' in the Wind" by Peter, Paul, and Mary got very popular but was released about three months after Bob's. I couldn't figure out from the database whether The Byrds released "Mr. Tambourine Man" before him.

Not sure if they qualify as "popularized," but released before Bob's:

Make You Feel My Love -- Billy Joel
Mississippi -- Sheryl Crow

New Orleans Rag
California
Dusty Old Fairgrounds

but they aren't an official release.
