see your nina simone
and raise you a fiona apple in "even better than original" shocker
Ah yes, Fiona.
We met by the yacht, supped wine, studied the stars. I made her laugh with a silly joke about Jupiter and then her hair brushed my forehead like the tail of a unicorn. She bit her lower lip almost in embarrassment and turned away. I held her shoulder, kissed the back of her neck, she turned around, draped her arm around me, pulled my head towards her and-
oh, hang on. No. That wasn't me.
Don't know that it's better than the original...
... and its not up there with Nina Simone but I am awfully partial to Earth Wind and Fire's version of Got To Get You Into My Life. Check out the Spinal Tap style intro folks...
Nah! Peter Gabriel is tops
with his version of Strawberry Fields
Phew...normal service has resumed.
Jason McNiff
He turned up on a Mojo Beatles tribute cd a year or so back. The rest of it was utter dross but there's something about his folky take on this song that appealed....
From The Horses Mouth so to speak
A Favourite of many
Indeed
I was about to post that one myself.
Yes
Got to agree Mr. B
This was last weeks blog....
OK, about not the best, but whether there were whole album's worth. (Answer: yes, in abundance.) But this song was posted, Emmylous fabulous Here, There and Everywhere, from the wonderful Elite Hotel, the LP I picked up on an offchance in 1975, opening up the doors of country far wider than my earlier Burritos dalliance had allowed by tehn.
Can I introduce you all..
..to this (if you ain't heard it, like)
