Cars - Drive
Beatles (Yay!) - Something
Heart - These Dreams

Each was a hit sung by someone other than the group's usual lead singer?

I thought I had it:
Cars - Drive - album is Heartbeart City
Heart - These Dreams album is Heart
... but Beatles (Yay!) - Something is from Abbey Road, not Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band.

Good observation, but I think the Cars' early singles were a roughly even split between Orr and Ocasek.

Yes, not just a hit, but arguably their biggest - for the Cars it was their highest charter, for Heart it was their first #1, and for the Beatles it has been their most covered. Both Sinatra & Elvis covered it!

If I remember correctly the same applies to .38 Special, too, for most of their hits. Donnie Van Zant was nominally their lead singer, but most if not all of their hits were sung by Don Barnes, one of their guitarists.
