I love a great cover song and up until 15 minutes ago, I had no idea who Charles Bradley was, but now I think I need to check out his back-catalog. The soul singer recently released an excellent cover of Black Sabbath's "Changes," one of the slower songs in the band's catalog, and like with any great cover song, completely made it his own. Take a listen:

Seriously, fucking amazing. This single was released as part of a limited run for Record Store Day. I could only find this Amazon listing to buy the song, so it is indeed a rarity. Seriously, this cover is on the level of Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" and making it his own. Very impressive.
