No dog in this fight: not good enough to copy well or invent out of thin air

BUT what then do you/we call professionals (alive and dead) who sing/play essentially most if not all other peoples songs:

Frank Sinatra
Mchael Buble'
Diana Krall
Tony Bennet
Aaron Neville
...
and other singers

then there are purely, or mostly, instruments players:

Bill Evans
Barney Kessel,
Miles Davis
Joe Pass
Kenny Burrel
Charlie Christian
Wes Montgomery
....


Then there are the folks probably more the topic of this discussion:"rockers" who began and became KNOWN by playing and reworking Dixons and other "unknown" blues writers (e.g., early Led Zeppelin, Stones, Beatles, I even remember more than a few Venture's tunes that were re-worked, etc.)
