Finally have a chance to breathe. One of my favorite bloggers: Soul has been paying tribute to some of my favorite artists. No contemporary stuff here. I am talking about the true greats: Miriam Makeba, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Cassandra Wilson and today, Billie Holliday. True music.
My song of the day is one of my favorite songs ever:
Nina Simone - Mr Bojangles
Check out Soul's blog for more on the incomparable Ms Simone (this would be the point when hyperlinks would be great. But i cant figure it out with blogger...Hint). So listen and enjoy some REAL music.
*Let me know if you would like this song*

Hey Uzo, love this song but can't say I've heard Nina's version. I can only remember hearing Sammy Davis Jnr, Frank Sinatra (love both versions) and some other random people do it (including Robbie Williams - not one of his brightest ideas). Would love to have this. Thanks.
