Yes. Great song. I really like this version sung by Paul Weller:

Re: Olympics Music

This came in my Spotify discover weekly list. Interesting concept and seems to be very well done.

There is a whole album's worth - including Aretha's version of Walk On By..but this one is good.

Bruce

I’ve always thought the E-Street Band could do a great version of (There Goes) The Forgotten Man. I doubt there will be anything like that on Bruce’s next album but - interesting to read that it was influenced by Glen Campbell, Jimmy Webb and Burt... http://variety.com/2017/music/news/bruce-springst...

Thats a monumental song and about the best vocal you’re ever gonna get from Jimmy.
Devastating.

Re: Most complex Bacharach song ever

Amazing to see Dionne sing that version of Who Gets The Guy. So effortless. Phenomenal.

I feel under-qualified to evaluate song complexity but these seem like they belong on this list:

Fantastic. How did Hal David come up with the line, “Sail when the wind starts to blow” ?

The performance of Walk On By is especially magical.

I know next to nothing about Jobim. Any suggestions where I should go for more like this ?
