What makes a great cover song? For me, it's when I don't even know the song I'm listening to is a cover song. When the covering artist takes the song, sometimes in a totally new direction and places their own creative stamp on it. Yet, some cover songs remain faithful to the original and the end result is still a winning cover song...sometimes. Here are 4 great cover songs you may not know.
