Looking for the song that was recorded for a specific individual and you enjoy. Not looking for something such as Hey Jude or Woman

Examples would be
Missing You—Diana Ross for Marvin Gaye
Black Velvet—many artist for Elvis
Midnight in Montgomery—Alan Jackson for Hank Williams

Tell Laurie I Love Her - Keith Whitley for Lorrie Morgan (but, devastatingly, lands as actually a tribute to his own life after he took it and Lorrie discovered the recording)

Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out of - U2 for Michael Hutchence of INXS (and is not exactly teary-eyed...Bono said he wrote it from a place of anger)

Ballad of Ira Hayes - Johnny Cash for drunken Ira Hayes (the injun member of the Iwo Jima flag raising party)
