If you agree with the old proverb that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then cover songs serve as tributes to their original artists. Sometimes, a cover version vastly outshined its original. Such is the case with Summertime, originally written for the 1935 George Gershwin opera
Porgy and Bess, which Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong put a jazz spin on in 1957 to make it an international hit.
To learn more about the most covered songs in musical history, Stacker mined data from WhoSampled.com, whose goal is to build the most comprehensive database for music. The site features more than 653,000 songs and more than 215,000 artists as of February 26, 2020. Aside from Beatles tunes, Christmas music accounts for a number of the most covered songs, including Bing Crosby s White Christmas in 1942: the second-most covered holiday song with more than 50 mill

Several Advents ago, a priest gave me a somewhat unusual penance during confession. Rather than assigning me prayers to recite or Scripture verses to read, he advised me to reflect on a line from what happened to be my favorite Christmas carol: “O Holy Night (Cantique de Noël),” written by French composer Adolphe Adam (with lyrics by Placide Cappeau and, in English, by John Sullivan Dwight, who softened the original French text’s stern tone).
“It captures what Christ’s birth truly means,” said the priest, and then quoted, “‘He appeared, and the soul felt its worth.’”
It is the night of our dear Saviorâs birth
Long lay the world in sin and error, pining
âTill He appeared and the soul felt its worth,
The song is a well known Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 to the French poem âMinuet, chretitiensâ (Midnight, Christians) by poet Palcide Cappeau. The carol reflects on the birth of Jesus as humanityâs redemption and couldnât be any better fitting for today as was then.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O, hear the Angelsâ voices
