Yes, "Heaven" is wonderful. That whole album is great, as I remember.

So many great songs have showed up since I was here last!

Mark, Jane & I used Judee's "Kiss" as the soundtrack for our backyard wedding's processional. She was tragically sensational. (I discovered her through Warren Zevon's version of "Jesus Was a Cross-Maker.")

And we were just listening to Fairport's Leige & Lief the other night. "North Star" is one of Jane's & my favorites.

Shaun, thanks for sharing "Apart" -- I always enjoy the Cure's moody neo-psychedelia. Inevitably, "All Cats Are Grey" is my personal favorite, which I'm sure you know. Here: https://youtu.be/4v7WUz3GSgk?si=qjEPc66flRd4-GT0

A few more of my faves for Jim, et al.

The dBs' Chris Stamey & Peter Holsapple covering Family's "My Friend the Sun."

Lucy Dacus' funny & heartbreaking "VBS."
https://youtu.be/u8JqjG8A90g?si=PPcivkiYlJuniydb

Finally, Nick Drake's classic "Time Has Told Me."

Here's a pretty great song and performance. Louis Armstrong. The vocal doesn't start until a couple minutes in, but wait for it. Black and Blue

Roger, Louis Armstrong is a lightning rod for “that which shall remain unnamed”. He is an icon. When I watch him perform he almost always overwhelms me. Thanks for posting this one.


Someone I can’t recall ever being recognized on any music threads here is Ray Charles. A few days ago I saw him doing a cover of McCartney's Yesterday. There is a depth that he brings to the song that blew me away. It’s almost as if McCartney wrote that song for Ray Charles to sing. He takes some small liberties with a few lyrics in the name of improvisation, but the song is better for it.


Then, I tripped over this gem. There may be some here who have difficulty connecting to this kind of romantic sentiment, but there is no denying the noir magic that John C. Reilly brings to this Irving Berlin classic.
