Annie Lennox - Summertime (Live)

Annie, some time ago, released a jazz album called Standard's Jazz, which I know I've mentioned before, but it doesn’t matter.
On this album, there’s a version of "Strange Fruit" that momentarily made me waver in my personal belief that NO ONE can sing Billie’s songs, especially that particular one. Because it’s HERS.

She stole her own life, and not solely due to her own fault - as @[IlConte] described in one of the most beautiful (chilling) pages ever written here - and it didn’t seem right to dare to make any comparison. To avoid hurting her more than she has already been.

So this Super Standard, which everyone has played, seemed more suitable; especially for those who don’t like Jazz.

Two piano chords, then those wonderful strings, underscored by the incredible spleen of that amazing voice possessed by the lanceolate creature of...
I can’t remember now where she was born: and if I step out of here (smartphone) to go check, I’m not sure I’ll find my way back.

The Swippo, you know.
