Voted for "Flowerz" but enjoying all of this

Oh, also, I don't think this one's on Spotify either:

i was excited to listen to Sun Ra and Theo Parrish, then i realized it said "Sa Ra", and that Theo Parrish isn't in fact a soul jazz artist from the 70's (I think my brain wiring got confused because he did that Black Jazz compilation).

Anyway, that William DeVaughn remix achieves the impossible task of being more smooth than the original, so that might have to be my vote.

It really does.

But votes for the original version are fine by me.

Also, if you're considering a vote for Bea Arthur singing "What'll I Do," maybe also consider a vote for Sarah Vaughan absolutely devastating the masses with her version of "The Nearness of You."

I was on a plane yesterday and drifting to sleep and all of the sudden, my randomized music stopped playing. I got incredibly tense, expecting something catastrophically loud to burst thru my earbuds. Once I was awake enough to check my phone, I realized it was "Gaspard de la Nuit: Le Gibet." Not what you'd want to hear on a plane.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Voted “Flowerz” over “Be Thankful” and “Solitary Flight”.

(Disclaimer: I kept the classical out of it, cause I tend to keep away from the classical, but god, “Gaspard de la nuit” is gorgeous)

Thanking you again for all this wonderful music.

If I had had two votes my second would have gone to the Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor

Dan S, Thursday, 6 June 2019 00:04 (four years ago) link

I (and Bea Arthur) thank you for your votes

“Wheel Me Out” deserved better.

As did most of the other 0-votes.

‘Steppin Out’ is peerless though...as is the whole ‘Night and Day’ album
