History time! Ever record a cover song? "Cover song" was coined in the 1950s, when American record labels commissioned white recording artists to "cover up" popular songs by Black artists to ensure market appeal to, then, more affluent demographics on radio.

Oof. Like the time they had PAT BOONE sing a limp cover of Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti Oh Rootie"? It had none of Little Richard's astounding energy and drive, but it was released immediately after the good version and eclipsed it for a while.
