In analog thinking you need what audio mutants call a Master, an original recording. His vocal track is right there, however while some master recordings exist they are out of reach.

I always knew that Marvin Gaye was a fine singer, but I never understood before what an amazing instrument his voice actually was.

I really was joking since the “CCR original” is brought every single time with the Marvin Gaye version.
FTFY: Rammstein is bargin bin, honestly…
That mashup is still great
