Ah yes, one of my all time fave female vocal performances. She does a great People get Ready too.

If you like girly vocals, have a look at this below - its absolutely effortless. Real stripped back and raw. Theres also version filmed on a rooftop in London where Hayley has a chest infection and the rasp even sounds great!

I remember when they used this version for a cancer advert on TV. Gave me goose bumps every time as it was so sad and emotional.

If the topic is sublime, sadly missed singers, may I offer this for your consideration...?

One of the finest, ever, imo. Sadness; gone too soon.

Eva Cassidy was a fantastic singer. Her version of 'Wayfaring stranger' always gives me the goose-bumps.

I'm a fan of that one too.

But of course, [s]only a covers artist[/s] only ever recorded excellent songs. ;)

I corrected it for you.

Eva Cassidy's Somewhere over the rainbow is now the definitive version I suspect. She did a seriously cool jazzed up version of Route 66 too.

I remember being surprised when first hearing the original jazzy version of Route 66, well this version by the writer so I assume it was the original.

Incidentally, Bobby Troupe was also portrayed the army jeep driver in M*A*S*H (the film) who was always saying "Goddam Army". Not a lot of people know that. ;)

Edit - found the Eva Cassidy version . . . . not quite as 'cool' as the Troupe version, but very good nevertheless:

Without question my favourite female vocalist, but for me her biggest talent was in the arrangements of the songs she sang, the guitar parts in "Over The Rainbow" are sublime in how they compliment the vocals
[/quote]
They are great arrangements but they aren't always wholly new. The arrangement of [i]The Letter[/i], for example, owes much to the Leon Russell arrangement for Joe Cocker Mad Dogs and Englishmen,

Heres the link to the sore throat version Linus. The roughness sort of adds to the tone of the song ( works for me anyway!)
