Originally composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1960. Many people covered this song. The version I'm most familiar is this one by Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and João Gilberto.

Everything Must Change has been covered by a lot of artists, but imo Randy Crawford set the standard as the first to cover it. The song was originally recorded by Bernard Ighner on Quincy Jones's album Body Heat, and it's been covered by Barbra Streisand, Peggy Lee, George Benson, Nina Simone, Nancy Wilson, Judy Collins, June Christy, Jean Carn, Oleta Adams and others en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benard_Ighner#:~:text=Ighner%20became%20a%20session%20singerRandy Crawford is immensely under-rated as an artist (as is Oleta Adams).

Phyllis Hyman was Clive Davis’s first pick to be the Pop Diva, but Phyllis wasn’t willing to compromise, and Davis found Whitney instead.
A truly under-rated voice. She earned a Tony nomination for this role in Sophisticated Lady on Broadway.
