Readers and followers of this blog know that I am not a big fan of cover versions. But occasionally one pops up and makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I like Kimbra, I think she is a very good musician and even though I still prefer Nina's very own take on this classic, Kimbra rises to the challenge and pulls it off beautifully. I hope you're having a good time off. I am enjoying mine. Thanks.

Greetings from London.
A soft, sweet sound, which is just as pleasing on a Sunday evening (you know me) as on a Sunday morning.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays, CiL ....
She has a fabulous voice! Enjoy your time off. I'm coming over to England tomorrow to visit the family.
