Hey guys, I'm not going to be too descriptive with individual songs here, but this post has been on my mind for a while. A couple months ago I shared a few fabulous song covers here: http://aslickgimmick.blogspot.com/2011/08/songs-of-moment-8211-covers.html
Now I'm going to turn things around and pay homage to the artists who are shadowed by the more popular renditions of their tunes and melodies. Many pop artists' biggest hits aren't actually their own and quite frankly, that pisses me off! Let's pay respects to the real artists! I'll include all of the examples I can think of, but I'm sure there are many more.
