what a great performance this is. ... it's a sad, a blues version... and it is so true, if you've ever been to new york. it's not all glory and shine there
Fucking brilliant. Best version I have heard and even better than seeing (or not seeing as it was so fucking dark onstage) her live when she came to Perth in 2010. The BBC sure know how to get the sound just right..........
Just watched this again............. Good thing my name is on here as she made me forget it :) I wrote something for Chan " We, the un-dynamic frightened children, Messily unspooling Like smashed cassette tapes" She's an inspiration the way she has dealt with her personal problems and tragedies. She has no right to still look so healthy :)
I heard this first on Client-9, the Documentary about Eliot Spitzer. I read the credits all the way through to find out who did this. I then played it at my favorite watering hole. I am a fan of this lady's.
@hela99 Echoing frunkiss's point... It's at once obvious and yet subtle... But yes: Sinatra's version is swaggering and celebratory; and this one is, suitably, sad...
