A good cover song is hard to come by. Some people take a classic song and make it sound like a pile of poop. But every once in a while, an artist comes along and does one some serious justice. Check out these COVER GIRLS as they flip the script on a few timeless tunes…
The most badass, jewish, UK born and raised, toothpick train wreck of a soul singer Amy Winehouse, takes Sam Cooke’s “Cupid” to a whole other level. Is that a 007 she’s drinking? Nice…
Just imagine this song playing at the end of a baseball game in the Bronx. Ok, maybe we shouldn’t mess with tradition, but it’s still an ill cover of Frank Sinatra’s classic Yankee Stadium closer…
Alicia Keys is so talented and her stage show is banging. Check out this live version of the Force M.D.’s “Tender Love”…
Oh, and here’s a bonus (sorry, i had to sneak this in), a cover of the Rolling Stones gem “Wild Horses”, with a little help from Adam Levine of Maroon 5, from Keys’ MTV Unplugged show. Peep the video (and audio)…
Alicia Keys featuring Adam Levine- Wild Horses
This is from the first Mary J. Blige album WHAT’S THE 411?, the original version was sung by Chaka Khan. How dope is Mary J. Blige? And to think, this is from 1992, and eighteen years later she’s still killing it…
This is one of my all time favorite R & B songs, originally done by the Isley Brothers…
Aaliyah- At Your Best (You Are Love)
R.I.P. Aaliyah
