The po-mo Frith-fest posted above, not so much IMHO.<br /><br /><br />"What A Difference A Day Makes" - made famous by Dinah Washington, but I'd pick the disco cover by Esther Phillips, which kicks mighty ass. I remember seeing her do it on TV in the 70s, quite possibly on Saturday Night Live, it made an impression on me then, even as a teenage disco-hater.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6CAeDN9er8Noam Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078219408896745687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-40385360391569610722010-07-09T22:00:37.356-04:002010-07-09T22:00:37.356-04:00The Same Deep Water As You -- The Cure
