7. "Moon River" by Henry Mancini, covered by Frank Ocean
I think it’s easy to admit that “Moon River” sung by Frank Ocean is one of my favorite covers of all time. Originally performed by Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, “Moon River” is one of the most thoughtful songs ever performed. In the film, it represents nostalgia and hope, and these themes are easily heard in Ocean’s beautiful rendition. As many starved Frank Ocean fans know, the artist is very selective with the content he puts out into the world. The film and song must mean a great deal to him, and his talent seeps through every word.
