Cover songs, original songs, etc etc. Today we're looking at some classic examples of one musician making a song and how another musician enhanced its legacy. Whether it's a genre change, some new lyrics, or whatever it may be, covers are fascinating! These stories will mainly be about when the original song becomes more popular for a different audience or generation. Enjoy.
