    That is very nice. I momentarily daydreamed that I was on the French Quarter sipping a fruity hurricane, and hearing echoing jazz horns down the street.

    Wonderful Cooper. Thanks :) I’m trying very hard to pretend the US isn’t the joke of the world with better bathrooms–though even there I think we’re begin to fall

    I love this song. I love it so hard.
    It reminds me of better summers, summers that shined instead of raining down.

    I used to think Janis Joplin or Sam Cook had the best version of this song. Now I’m not so sure.

    Billy Preston does a great instrumental version. Love that this song can be done jazzy or more blues or even more show tune. Billy Holiday version is the first one I heard and Fantasia believe it or not does a beautiful cover of the song too. This is a too cool version. When I did my surgical rotation there was a surgeon who played this all the time.

    I once thought that Janice’s version was untouchable, but damn is this one infectious.
