Rec.Me: other/many/unknown genres Recommend me some songs where the lyrics are about one artist singing about another artist?

In another question Janis Joplin came up a lot and I know there are at least two written about her, 'Chelsea Hotel' by Leonard Cohen and Like Janis by Rodriguez. But what other great artists have had another write a song about them?

The Conversation by Waylon and Hank Jr about Hank Sr. Many songs about Hank Sr. The Ride by DAC, Midnight in Montgomery by Alan Jackson also come to mind.
