== Popular music == [[Popular music]] recordings often include parts for [[Brass instrument|brass]] [[horn section]]s, [[String orchestra|bowed strings]], and other instruments that were added by arrangers and not composed by the original [[songwriter]]s. Some pop arrangers even add sections using full [[orchestra]], though this is less common due to the expense involved. Popular music arrangements may also be considered to include [[Reissue|new releases of existing songs]] with a new musical treatment. These changes can include alterations to [[tempo]], [[Meter (music)|meter]], [[Key (music)|key]], [[Instrumentation (music)|instrumentation]], and other musical elements. Well known examples include [[Joe Cocker]]'s version of [[the Beatles]]' "[[With a Little Help from My Friends]]", [[Cream (band)|Cream]]'s "[[Cross Road Blues|Crossroads]]", and [[Ike Turner|Ike and Tina Turner]]'s version of [[Creedence Clearwater Revival]]'s "[[Proud Mary]]". The American group [[Vanilla Fudge]] and the British group [[Yes (band)|Yes]] based their early careers on radical rearrangements of [[Hit single|contemporary hits]].<ref>[http://www.classicbands.com/vanilla.html Vanilla Fudge covers] (classic bands website)</ref><ref>''Close To the Edge β The Story of Yes'', Chris Welch, Omnibus Press, 1999/2003/2008 pages 33-34</ref> Bonnie Pointer performed [[disco]] and [[Motown sound|Motown]]-styled versions of "[[Heaven Must Have Sent You]]".<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0688460/bio Bonnie Pointer bio] ([[IMDb]] website)</ref> [[Remix]]es, such as in [[dance music]], can also be considered arrangements.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=raLmAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT47 ''The Remix Manual: The Art and Science of Dance Music Remixing with Logic''], Simon Langford (Elsevier, 2011, {{ISBN|978-0-240-81458-2}}) page 47</ref>
