Bob & Marcia had two Top 20 hits in the UK. 'Young, Gifted And Black' climbed to No.5 in March 1970, and their cover of Crispian St Peters' 'Pied Piper' reached No.11 in July 1971.
I think we always remember the first version we hear and it all depends on how many good memories you have of the time that version was released which decides which cover you like best. For me the Crispian St Peters version is 'better'.
Great memories ❤

Crispian St Peters was also a cover version. It was written and originally recorded by US group The Changin' Times.
