❤I fell in love with the gift of Curtis Stigers years ago when I first heard him sing this song. He sings with so much passion. I love his cover of this beautiful song.❤
I remember this classic from the Q. Jones L/P "Body Heat" 1974. This dude Curtis Stigers really did his business on this track. I believe that if an artist covers a classic, they shouldn't f#*k it up. Well he didn't. His voice is incredible. This is a very nice tribute to Quincy Jones' 75th birthday celebration. Thanks for the post qicksilverJAZZ.
I have listened to many covers of this song, even the original as excellent as it is doesn't come close to Stigers.. Just BEAUTIFUL The man can turn any song into a masterpiece!!! Big love x
Lyrics stand for something. Then there's the track. When the two blend and you get the voice to deliver a blending you have what the composer envisioned.
An excellent version of this song. Nina Simone also performed a great rendition. But for me Sarah Vaughan owns this tune. The only question is which one of her five versions on youtube is the best. Three were recorded in 1975: Sao Paulo; Paris and Laven. Live at Ronnie Scotts in 1977 was the only recording released during her lifetime. Live at Rosy's(1978) was released on Cd a couple of years ago. I'm torn between the versions at Rosy's and Paris.
