what are you listening to at the moment?

Before Sad Café Paul Young was lead singer with the Q Tips.
Here they are with a soul rendition........

[Moonglum]

No, that is the other Paul Young!

I can see clearly now

A song written and performed by Johnny Nash and covered by a fair few musicians/bands.
Jimmy Cliff performed a memorable cover version but I rather like this one by The Hothouse Flowers :

I think I prefer the version by Jimmy Cliff Martin @port perran .

I came across this track this morning by Chris Forsyth.
It's a cover of Meditation by John McLaughlin from the fabulous Love, Devotion Surrender of 1973.
For all the guitar loving folk out there, you might like this one. We'll see :

It's a shame that the band don't really seem to be enjoying themselves much.

[Newportnobby]

I enjoyed it but they seemed so studious it was almost like the first time they'd played it

[Moonglum]

I have not heard the original before nor indeed the album by Messrs Santana and McLaughlin. Comparing the two, I much prefer the original. CF's version is somewhat shrill for me. Interesting though Martin @port perran .

Cheers,

Tim
