You've changed.....

Jazz Alley

From Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to the new greats of today, this is the place for Jazz!

I've been looking for the singer that can squeeze the most feeling out of this lovely song. I usually listen to Keith Jarrett playing the tune, but for the vocal version how about these:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4Si1muq-EM George Michael - this is lovely
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXBpVctOEVw Sarah Vaughan - nice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7xF38qJl3c Joni Mitchell - lush sounds and the words come through with the right kind of emotion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDKbigV4OHE Jeanie Bryson - this is good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST9NfckQOyI Eva Cassidy - beautiful singing but the words don't quite land.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyRyCgq5KYI Ella - beautiful singing but again the words aren't quite there
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogUhV-dxtK4 Nat King Cole - lovely voice, but the lyrics are a bit flat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGwX7f2wcq0 Billie Holiday - the recording is rather rough, or maybe she wasn't in the best voice, and the arrangement is pretty trite
Also ran - Diana Ross, Nikki Yanofsky, Isabella Lundgren, Renee Olstead, Frankie Laine, Nancy Wilson, Malou Beauvoir, Leila Maria, Etta James, Marvin Gaye, The Platters, Liane Carroll.. all on YT
In this round-up I'm giving it to George Michael, and the others in descending order. Great song.
