That was a show stopper!

Justin Timberlake might be one of the best performers in modern music. He can do it all: sing, act, dance, he’s funny and it helps that he’s just an all-around good guy. Recently, Justin performed at the Pilgrimage Music & Arts festival in Tennessee, and pulled off one of his best covers ever!

Justin covered Sam Cooke’s “Change Is Gonna Come,” and performed it in a stripped down acoustic rendition. His sweet and soulful voice adds a special touch to this track, and they add some blues flare to the song with their choice of riff and arrangement. It’s seriously one of the best covers you’ll ever hear of this tune, and we guarantee that Sam would be incredibly happy to hear this!

Justin performed this in hopes of inspiring people to be a beacon of change during this confusing time in our world. I think we can all learn a special message from the lyrics of this beautiful song.

Check out the phenomenal cover down below, and let us know what you think!
