BOC: ...and Bryan Adams.

>From the article, "On Second Thought: 20 Hit Songs Originally Written for
Other Artists -- Part 2" on spinner.com:

"Run to You," Bryan Adams
 
After Blue Oyster Cult producer Bruce Fairbairn asked Adams and writing
partner Jim Vallance to pen a song for the band, the two studied the guitar
intro from "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" -- Blue Oyster Cult's biggest hit.
With that signature guitar intro as inspiration, they came up with "Run to
You." But after giving it to the band, Fairbairn reported, "They don't like
the song." It was also rejected by .38 Special before Adams recorded it
himself. In 1984, it became his first top ten single.
