I haven't even had a chance to read the comments at my battle so if you left a comment there, I haven't yet seen it.<br /><br />Wow, I can see why you were so mesmerized by Jane Monheit's version of this song. The instrumentation is fantastic and her smooth voice blends so well with it, making a song so incredibly rich. I love it. Really exceptional, in my opinion.<br /><br />I did also very much enjoy the original by Corrine Bailey Rae. Both renditions are wonderful so I would think this battle will be a close call. My vote goes to Jane. I'll definitely be looking at more of her music. <br /><br />Really nice battle. Thanks for the introduction to two stellar artists. Glad you made it home safe and sound. Enjoy what's left of the summer...<br /><br />Michele at <a href="http://angelsbark.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Angels Bark</a>Michele at Angels Bark https://www.blogger.com/profile/15891713963440451090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-72505550131987801122017-08-19T22:17:16.901-07:002017-08-19T22:17:16.901-07:00Dolorah, it's like a magical place in time whe...Dolorah, it's like a magical place in time when a special, memorable song comes to my attention.

I've had to pull over and write down a title or few lines to look up later.<br /><br />Great battle. Both ladies are good singers, the song well suited to their voices. I think Jane has a bit more umph in the too laid back song. Something about this song is just too "soft" for my tastes.<br /><br />Anyway, vote for Jane.dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-85414219683830334852017-08-19T12:34:53.150-07:002017-08-19T12:34:53.150-07:00I prefer Corinne's take on this song more than...I prefer Corinne's take on this song more than Jane. Jane is ok but it didn't do much for me whereas Corinne seems to add a bit more flair to this song so she gets my vote.

And, yes, absolutely there is a Bossa Nova flair to JANE's version. And I too really dug that nice (and also Bossa Nova-ish) acoustic guitar break.<br /><br />Corinne's original is nice too. She has that "little girl" voice like Rickie Lee Jones, which must grow on some folks. But since I've always been a RLJ fan, I was already ready for it.<br /><br />However, no question, I preferred the cover by JANE. Which means that you, Sixgunboy, and I are all voting alike, which means the world will end on August 21st. <br /><br />I just asked my Magic 8-Ball: "Will the world end on August 21st?" And it answered: "Don't Count On It".<br /><br />And you know what that means, right?<br />The world is DEFINITELY ending on August 21st, because the Magic 8-Ball is ALWAYS wrong!<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br />[Link:) <b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents 'Battle Of The Bands'</a></b>Stephen T.
