For the last entry in the series I though I would roll with my favourite song, which I probably listen to at least weekly some 35+ years after I first heard it. Still powerful. The riff. The musicianship. Merry Clayton’s vocal. Incredible. Number 1000c of #1000Songs youtube.com/watch?v=COqF...
Katrine Sansregret (interesting name) burst on to the scene last year in Star Académie. She hails from St Hubert Quebec on the south shore and the honesty and raw emotion of her songs is compelling for listeners. Number 1000b of #1000Songs youtube.com/watch?v=3Yjk...
This is an interesting mash up. The video seems to be just about entirely AI generated.
This should conclude the series but i have to do two more because I accidentally doubled up on two songs along the way. 🤷♂️
