Find out who performed the original version of a particular song, or who covered that song.
Unlike many related sites, we try to be as complete as possible (not just performer and song title, but also songwriters and original media) and order the data in a reusable and maintainable way.
The database already contains 39358 works, 182920 performances, 2452 samples and 49244 artists (performers and songwriters).
If you have
suggestions for additional covers,
corrections,
questions,
or if you want to
chat
about cover songs or related topics, make sure to visit our
forum.
