A Piano and A Voice

Judge Sill "The Kiss"

 

The great Joe Jackson alone at the piano, covering The Beatles "Girl" ...

 

This one is kind of strange, as it's two guys, basically just sitting around and they do this decent sounding, but pretty odd to watch, cover of The Alan Parsons Project's "Shadow Of A Lonely Man", which is one of my personal favorite APP songs!

 

A few years ago I discovered this very talented guy named Larry L. on u-tube, who just likes to cover old songs. The guy is pretty damn good and the following is one of the first songs that I heard him cover and it still rings true. Keith's "98.6" ...

 

Got to give it up to this gal, who took on Gino Vannelli's "Living Inside Myself" and she nailed it!

 

Judge Sill!

Gotta love my phones auto correct !

 

Diana Krall's rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon" for Neil Armstrong was sweet.

 

IMVHO, Elvis' solo piano recordings in 1971 are amongst his very greatest performances:

I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen (undubbed):

 

It's Still Here:

 

I Will Be True:

 

Pet Shop Boys-London (Genuine Piano Mix), 2003

 

Lightning Seeds-Blue, 1997

 

The day before the "official" recording of "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)", with Nelson Riddle, Frank Sinatra and his longtime pianist Bill Miller stepped into the recording studio to rehearse and they recorded this, which was supposed to be erased. Jump ahead about 30 or so years and our very own forum member Ron Furmanek, while working on a Sinatra project, rolled a master tape back out a little further than needed and he discovered that this wasn't erased after all and he saved it for all of us to be able to hear it! Thanks Ron!

 

Jack Bruce - Folk Song

 

Ella Fitzgerald - Stardust

 

Parliament - "Let Me Be" While, it has just a tad more than piano, I think it could still fit.

 

I appreciate the raw nature of Neil Young performing After the goldrush on piano.

 

First tune is just OK but go to 3:25 for a couple great ones.

 

Good stuff. Randy was underappreciated.

 

Kate Bush "Under the Ivy"

 

Randy Meisner - “Lonely Alone” (Brooke Lizotte on piano)

 

Bruce Johnston - "Disney Girls"

 

Lana Del Rey - Video Games

 

I hate it when someone does a version of a song I thought I'd always despise. This is one of those tunes:
