"What are the best white artist covers of black artist tracks"


  

          

We all know the story of the white artists absconding with soulful black music, white washing it and making it palatable for white audiences (and getting rich in the process).

But are there any istances where you have to admit that the white artist improved on the work of the black artist?

For example, I offer The Beatles cover of Twist and Shout:

The Isley Brothers Version
