You'll have to click the link to get the video, which is just the audio. Bill's newer stuff isn't on YouTube, unfortunately.

I'll often put this one on repeat

Another brilliant musician who died too young- he was only 55 when he died of a heart attack.

Nice cut. I like it. And what a great contrast to everything else posted!

And it made me think of Killing Joke. No, they're not the same, but for this genre of music, they're one of my favorites!

I adore all THREE bands. As one of the comments states - a beautiful companion piece to the original song.

Ray Charles was on a European tour and heard the summer hit of French singing star Nicoletta and the gorgeous song "Il est mort le soleil" ("the sun died&quot and decided to perform his own English language version. It's a terrific melody, so sad and beautiful.




The gorgeous original by Nicoletta:




And a very passionate version of the 60s French hit by Tom Jones:




And a very cool R&B version from 2013 by Vigon Bamy Jay:
