‘What A Wonderful World’ — Louis Armstrong
On the Ranker list, “What a Wonderful World” earned the No. 15 spots. This was written by George David Weiss and Bob Thiele under George Douglas. The song reached number one in the United Kingdom after being recorded by Louis Armstrong. In 1967, there was a pop chart. However, it was only ranked No. 32 in the United Kingdom. Regardless, in 1999, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Throughout the years, many artists have covered the song. Tony Bennett, Katie Melua, The Flaming Lips, Joey Ramone, Nick Cave, Shane MacGowan, Katie Melua, and Eva Cassidy are just a few of the artists who have covered this timeless song.

‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ — Sam Cooke
In 1964, “A Change is Gonna Come” came out as the B-side of his posthumous single “Shake.” Only a few days after he was laid to rest in December 1964, the song was released. Sam Cooke was tragically killed by a woman at a Los Angeles motel. It was used as an anthem of the civil rights movement, despite its lackluster chart performance. It was even chosen for preservation by the National Recording Registry in 2007. It was selected because it is a “culturally, historically, or aesthetically important” song.
