If a "Classic" is one that holds value and relavance decades later... This is a true Classic... Thank You... There is no place else that has this wide and eclectic mix...and all of it flows together...

When I hear this song I think of one my ultimate favorite movies "Point Of No Return" with Brigit Fonda where I first heard this.........smile.

I concur. This is indeed as good as it gets. (Laziness and being too busy with other more important stuff keeps me from down-rating / reorganizing my other ratings...but I should...)

I wish there was a higher rating than 10 for songs like this!

Ye gods! I am so very grateful I missed that.

I did until Simon quit. Great show. People have their prejudices. Here is a great paradox for you: the people who claim to be most interested in culture are actually the ones who are least interested in culture. (I am not making a case for TV. It's one outlet among many. But AI was a great show for awhile. Not for the same reasons we listen to RP. Apples to oranges. Love culture. Peace.)

I've always had a soft spot for Traffic's version from Last Exit . Thought it took a bit of moxie for a hip rock band to play Anthony Newley.

Thanks, that explains the 'feel' - they were contemporaries. As was Shirley Bassey.

No, but it has a very John Barry feel about it.


It was written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse.

According to Wikipedia, it's from her 1965 album I Put a Spell on You .

Also, I know this song thanks to the Muse cover (which is a 10!), but I respect and enjoy Nina's original.

Muse covered this wonderful old tune. Good on them for the respect.

I'm feelin' the blues about now. But in a good way....

Nina Simone, Albert King, Blasters, John Hammond, Ben Harper — what a set
