bostonman Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Actually, the ORIGINAL Jobim recording of "Águas de Março" was this one, released in 1972, a year before the version on the "Matita Pereira" (or "Jobim") album that was linked above: BUT - many consider the duet version with Jobim and Elis Regina (from the "Elis & Tom" album) to be THE classic recording of the song (it's also the one I heard first, and the one that got me hooked on the song, and Jobim's music in general): And here's studio footage of that recording as well. And, a live performance. Jobim himself playing that 2-note flute riff at the top that signifies the call of the (mythical) "matita pereira" bird, which is mentioned in the song's lyric. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srfP2JlH6ls There are stories that there was a lot of tension during the making of the now classic "Elis & Tom" album - supposedly the 2 singers didn't much like each other, and Jobim was also upset that Elis Regina's husband (César Camargo Mariano) was hired to do the musical arrangements, in place of Jobim's usual arranger, Claus Ogerman. But, watching the two of them together in these videos, it does seem like they're having fun together. Especially in that wonderful part right near the end when they're literally trading suffixes of words back and forth.

+ WilliamM Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) @TruHart1, Martin is about the right age for the song in "Night and Day." But, Cole Porter as a heterosexual in the film seemed too close to the way Mary Martin lived her own life. And, at age 67 in the appearance with Merman, Mary likely finally understood the lyrics to "My Heart Belongs to Daddy." However, Martin was the first life-long Broadway musical performer to receive the Kennedy Center Honors (1989). Merman passed away in 1984 before Kennedy Center could honor her.

OCClient Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Jim Parson was on the My Favorite Song radio show this morning and shared a feast of great songs from Judy Garland to the Beach Boys. He is a Steely Dan fan and really goes for Dirty Work. That jogged my memory that another group had done it, a cover I'd heard before hearing the original and loved a lot. I needed to Google it to remember it was Pointer Sisters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYuxvhqOsWI + WilliamM and LoveNDino 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ quoththeraven Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 BTS took Keb' Mo's Delta blues song "Am I Wrong" about an unfaithful lover and turned it into pointed social commentary that seems to anticipate events that happened after the song was (re)written and recorded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QAHJ86sCIg Keb' Mo performing the original live.

+ quoththeraven Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 One way a cover can distinguish itself is through gender flipping. In the hands of Jefferson Airplane's Grace Slick, David Crosby's paean to a menage a trois with young (and possibly underage) groupies becomes something bordering on revolutionary. Slick's two guys, one girl version of the song, which appeared on the 1968 album Crown of Creation, was its first commercial release, although the Byrds played it live once before Crosby was booted from the group. The version the Byrds recorded but didn't release wound up on the 1987 archival compilation Never Before and was a bonus track on the 1997 reissue of The Notorious Byrd Brothers, the album for which it was originally recorded. More information about "Triad" and the part it played in Crosby's departure from the Byrds here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Notorious_Byrd_Brothers + WilliamM, LoveNDino and TruHart1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
