I would like get feedback from people as to how to properly Attribute a Cover song. If a song uses a “CC-by” - that means I am free to sell (among other things). I just asked this question as a combo question here. There was great feedback and it really gave me an attitude adjustment regarding attribution in general. I would, however, like to get examples of how cover songs are being attributed. Thanks.

I’m certainly no expert in this, but I don’t think doing a cover of a CC song would be attributed any differently than using a sample of a CC song. Both a remix and a cover constitute derivative works of the original CC song.

So, if the song were listed on Itunes would it say: “song title [written by Clarence Simpson]”
or “Clarence Simpson’s Song Title” or do you do you have another suggestion? |

great question. i think either would be appropriate.
“Title” (feat. xxx, xxx & xxx)[written by Clarence Simpson] Also include it in the iTunes tag section - they usually ask for composer and publisher. xxx would be any samples/pellas/source you used from folks, if applicable. |
