Here is a Mary Black's version of a melancholy song about the end of childhood and entering the adult world of work. Growing up in an area where my ancestors were involved in coal mining, it has a special pull for me.

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn
Remember how she said that we would meet again, some sunny day………..
Vera, Vera, ……. what has become of you……….
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do??????

Love my live iTunes version where it sounds like a guitar string snaps.

This one deals with longing/lust, brilliant lyrics and music. The chorus:

And so I succumb to cinnamon, sweat, and rum
Laughing with stars in your eyes and your hair undone
And I pray one day our stars align so I might hold you one more time
And succumb to cinnamon, sweat, and rum

Luba, Canadian singer from the 80s.
A song written in memory of her father - Every Time I See Your Picture

Touching movie, storied song, and Dexter Gordon. Shakes me up every time. The tribute to Coleman Hawkins and the 1930s recording is another layer of emotion. And…Mr. McLaughlin.

PS- Yeah, the film print is backwards. :cool:

All Things Considered had a series, probablu around 2000, on the greatest recordings of the 20th century. One of those chosen was the Hawkins recording of Body and Soul. I’m not sure I was aware of it before that, but I sure have grown to love it.

For those who have yet to enjoy it… He improvises around the melody without ever playing it. Pretty special for an 85 year old performance!

Can’t neglect an all time great live performance. Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers on the Andy Williams Show about 1965.

"The Trouble with Love" - Kelly Clarkson
"Lose Control" - Teddy Swims

I'm on my work laptop and it won't allow me to post video. But all three are well worth your time.
