Amazing Cover: "I Will Always Love You" (Zapp & Shirley Murdock)

Back in 1996, Roger and Zapp released their compilation album The Compilation: Greatest Hits II & More which featured some of Zapp's lesser-known singles and album tracks  and some joints from Roger Troutman. With that said, the famed group featured Shirley Murdock ("As We Lay") on their rendition of the then mega-hit and future iconic "I Will Always Love You," which just a few years earlier was made into the biggest song of Whitney Houston's career.

Who would've thought a country song originally by Dolly Parton would go through so many soulful iterations and end up in this funky gospel-tinged Zapp cut. Either way you feel, take a listen below to Zapp & Shirley Murdock transform "I Will Always Love You" and Enjoy!

Amazing Cover: "As We Lay" (Kelly Price)

Back in 2000, Kelly Price would go onto release what would become her signature song, "As We Lay" that still has people raising a hand to her vocal testimony.

Lifted from Kelly's sophomore album Mirror Mirror, "As We Lay" was originally a classic by Shirley Murdock, but Kelly took the song and turned it out so much that some fans to this day still think it is a Kelly Price original.

With that said, revisit Kelly's classic take of "As We Lay" below and Enjoy!
