I’m of two minds on this- some songs should be left as they are, but with many the remixes and cover versions are a great way to bring classics to a new generation. When I broadcast, playing the original of a song more than ten years old will cause listenership to drop but the remix/remake can turn it into a hit again.
If Bob were still alive and gave his consent, that’s one thing.
Kind of like when Kenny G, decided that he was worthy of doing a “duet” with Satchmo.
