I had completely forgotten this one until I saw a BBC4 documentary about Kate yesterday.
Undeniably beautiful AND haunting.

Great version by Paulo Natini the other day on the Radio 2 Piano Room sessions.

Yes, of course. How remiss of me. Amy was so able to express emotion in her composition and voice that there are many to choose from. Even more beautiful that that performance, however, was this one: Amy’s version of Donny Hathaway’s We’re Still Friends.

I do like the Eva Cassidy version, but also you should give the Kate Rusby one a listen. However Sandy Denny will always be my favourite.

The Beach Boys aren’t really my thing, but God Only Knows is a beautiful song and right up there on my tearjerker list. A perfectly created pop song.

Saw Ewan McColl in 1974/75 with Peggy Seeger. He sang Dirty Old Town. It is one of the finest male voices I have heard. Peggy sang the First Time Ever I saw Your Face which was equally beautiful.
