Yes. Well that begs a very long list of "did the originator-composer release the 'definitive' version?": but I shall resist.

Mondays were made for melancholy...

I have had the very great pleasuere of seeing Tony Bennett on a couple of occasions. He is truly wonderful.

OK I have saved the best for last. Anita is my girl. If you haven't seen Jazz on a Summers Day on DVD then treat yourself, it's marvellous. PS: I would beg on my hands and knees for a dress like hers! (Shallow but true!)

Fairyfeet have you heard this version of autumn leaves

No, I hadn't heard this before... but I have now. Very Lounge.
I love Ivor the Engine. When I'm under par I curl up on the sofa and pop this on the DVD, this and Bagpuss.

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes
Goes "A-a-a-h"
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes
Goes "A-a-a-h"
Oh, but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day as she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile, but she
Doesn't see. She just doesn't see
No, she just doesn't see....
The most beautiful lyrics.....I love this song and I ask you, how else should women walk? Sublime.
Too much swing!
Classic electronic from one of the greats...

Thanks for that dom - always thought it would be up to me to one day cave and link to my all-time fave album :thumbup:

Both from the Drive soundtrack. Do yourself a favour and watch this film asap
Each one better than the cover by The Clash (overrated imho)
Tanerine Dream! I see you Dominion, I give you an enthusiastic thumbs up, and I raise you Tonto's Expanding Head Band!

Though I am more comfortable with 80s synth and new wave, like...

Despite the opening clip, the Sonny Boy Williamson 'One Way Out' is his 1962 Chess version, (recorded late '61, released on Checker) and not a Yardbird in sight, no band of that name till late 1963.
