Dog-1
"BEWITCHED, BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED" — Margaret Whiting
[Watch an old pro croon out a finely-wrought and truly-felt story.]
"HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW" — Ethel Waters
[Ethel Waters, here in character in "The Member of the Wedding", was a huge musical star and a very important cultural influence.]
"VIENNA" — Linda Eder
"DANNY BOY" — Judy Garland
[The chops come no better than these, for my money.]
"FIELDS OF GOLD" — Eva Cassidy
"HARD-HEARTED HANNAH" — Ella Fitzgerald
"ROLLING IN THE DEEP" — Adele
"I'M STILL HERE" — Cleo Laine
[Cleo is 93 this year, and she was probably into her 80s when she recorded this. Uh-mazing.]
"MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT" — Margaret Whiting
"HAPPY PHANTOM" — Tori Amos
"MEADOWLARK" — Patti Lupone
"THE MOON'S A HARSH MISTRESS" — Linda Ronstadt
