<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We all know the saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” and 9 times out of 10, I’m going to agree with that, but in the music world, I see things a little differently.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Artists cover older songs all the time. Even some of the greatest of all time have hits that are covers of someone else’s song. Some see it as biting, others see a remake as paying tribute to a song or artist that inspired them. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What it really boils down to is, did the cover do the original song justice? Well in these 10 cases, we think they did! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In honor of #BlackMusicMonth, we highlight some more of our most talented and the artists they inspired. SWIPE to let us know which covers are your faves and comment any others below!</span></p>
