The song you really love!

[WoodPeckr]

Monheit might have had a bad night but in the video you posted she lacks passion.

Music is passion and neither video you show has any.

?!?!?!?
Those are both bossa nova classics, done extremely well by BOTH artists.
Arianne Michelle, oozes sensual passion in Ela é carioca.
While Jane Monheit does the definitive version to date of Waters of March.
I challenge you to find any artist that can top them on those two Brazilian standards.....

To me Bossa Nova both old and new are instant stress reliever .

I'll be getting Jane Monheit's CD, Surrender, for sure.

I have most of Jane Monheit's CDs, she has a fantastic voice!

Great Song and Great Movie.

Hey Joe

my pick also

The song "you can leave your hat on" is so much better when performed by Randy Newman. Cocker doesn't have the creepiness associated with the song that randy does.

listen to the Etta James version....better by leaps and bounds

 

[herames]

if i had to vote for a best cover of a song...this would be it
Jeff Buckley version of Cohen's- Hallelujah (Live)
he made it his own if you asked me(fuck the Shrek movie version this is 1995 vintage)

And after all this time I never knew you were a Chris Cornell fan! Here's another example of him in his prime: (And Eddie Vedder's not too shabby either).

Yes, Etta James does a great job with that song, I'm also a huge Etta James fan. "At Last" was a classic.

So many to choose from, but this 80s rocker has been a consistent favourite ever since I heard it played in the movie RECKLESS, starring Aidan Quinn and Daryl Hannah.

Love that song but had forgotten about it. Thanks, although I wish I had not seen the chick who sings it.

I like the dark sounding songs by Ramstein. All sung in German, but thats what makes them sound even better.
