And what a woman brings to it,

Cassandra Wilson - St. James Infirmary

Cisco Houston - Saint James Infirmary

This is soooo different from the others but just as smooth.
He was pretty interesting.
Houston sounds like the blend of White and Black music of America in that era, it's dope.

Cisco Houston - Saint James Infirmary

Preservation Hall Hot 4: St. James Infirmary(King Britt Remix)

This is kind of interesting

Preservation Hall Hot 4: St. James Infirmary(King Britt Remix)

St. James Infirmary

See I like covers because the songs that are covered over and over are usually ones that tell a history or a universal truth.

I find it fascinating that so many different people can feel compelled to the same song and give them such personal and different meanings.
SO I listen to all of them I can find and then look up the history of the song and it all tells a story.

I went down to St. James Infirmary,
Saw my baby there,
Stretched out on a long white table,
So cold, so sweet, so fair.
Let her go, let her go, God bless her,
Wherever she may be,
She can look this wide world over,
But she'll never find a sweet man like me.

Wait wait wait Hugh Laurie has an album?

Hugh Laurie - St James Infirmary

Louis Armstrong: St. James Infirmary

Speaking of this song, ommmmgggggggggggg Sachmo!
I've been feelin him lately, I just got the book of his visual art. Very inspiring.

Louis Armstrong: St. James Infirmary

Aretha Franklin - Son of a Preacher Man

Favorite version.
Had to throw it out there.

Aretha Franklin - Son of a Preacher Man

elvis presley - in the ghetto

So um Elvis was born in rural Mississippi, I'd say this song still applies. Black or White it doesn't matter.

Tina Turner -- Son of a preacher man

I really need to listen to more Tina, she;s got that deep rasp like my mom.

Tina Turner -- Son of a preacher man

Melba Liston and her Bones - You Don't Say

Sophia Loren - Americano

LOL yo up until today I really thought Sophia Loren was Latina, I guess it's true, "we" do want our Latinas to look Italian. I also have to not be mad at Rihanna and Beyonce anymore for wearing underwear on stage. I can see where they got it from.

Sophia Loren - Americano

ROSEMARY CLOONEY - MAMBO ITALIANO

Yo I seriously want one of these 50's dresses, a martini, this song and then I can enjoy vacuuming my house.

ROSEMARY CLOONEY - MAMBO ITALIANO

Rosemary Clooney - Come On-A My House

I would make this the theme of Desperate Housewives.

Rosemary Clooney - Come On-A My House

Preservation Hall Jazz Band - St James Infirmary

I have a soft spot for this song, I'm not totally sure when this version was recorded.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band - St James Infirmary

Preservation Hall Jazz Band - "Tailgate Ramble"

The thing about travel is things stick with you when you have no idea. I can't say I was that interested in New Orleans jazz until I went there and heard it. And when I say heard it, I mean everywhere, music was the lifeblood of the city. More than the food, culture and even the flood. It was what kept everyone sane. Everyone played something, and live music was available every night all night. It was so present, that it clearly has its own identity and I can pick it out anywhere now. It was simply one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band - "Tailgate Ramble"

João Brasil feat. Lovefoxxx "L.O.V.E. Banana"

João Brasil feat. Lovefoxxx "L.O.V.E. Banana"

Lila Downs - Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps

It's funny the first time I heard this song it was in a Chinese movie (In The Mood For Love) and only in Spanish by an African American (Nat King Cole - below). This however is a good version if you don't speak any Spanish it's helpful. Whatever happened to African Americans singing in Spanish. BRING THAT BACK!!!!
