<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3WH1Ma50QUk" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Like many of Whitney's hits, it is a cover. In this case the original was by Linda Clifford in 1981

You might be familiar with this Clash song from 1979

You might even know it's a cover. The Bobby Fuller Four took it to the top 10 in 1966

You probably don't know it was written and originally recorded by the post-Buddy Holly Crickets in 1960

The 50 Best Cover Songs of 2021

They, as usual, have little in common with each other. A few tie into current events: Artists we lost, social justice concerns, live music’s fitful return. Most don’t. But does a doom metal cover of Donna Summer really need a reason to exist? How about African blues Bob Dylan, New Orleans bounce Lady Gaga, or organ ballad Fleetwood Mac? Nah. We’re just glad they’re here. |

Only a select demographic knows it's a cover. It was originally recorded by former Spinner G.C. Cameron in 1975

I'm sure you know everyone's favorite Celine Dion song...

It was written by Jim Steinman, the man behind Meat Loaf's big hits. He didn't write it for Meat or for Celine. It was written for a group called Pandora's Box...

You probably know this Stevie Wonder song from 1969
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tl_Axrry4AM" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Unlike most of Stevie's hits, he didn't write this one nor was he the first to record it. It was originally recorded by Chris Clark in 1966
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ykm3JZpiS08" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

There's an outside chance that you know this #1 hit, also from 2000

It is also a cover. It was first recorded by Sam Salter a year earlier.
