    Really like that arrangement from Kendrick, and Merchant's voice will forever be one of my favorites. Never got the hype around the Stones though.

  3. Just learned that a fellow Rotterdammer, who emigrated to Canada died last month, who had several hits/good selling records in Canada and USA.
    One of those was a cover of good old Ray Charles "Hit the road Jack"

    Cover by Ronnie King and the Stampedes

    I like the nod in the video by the second one to the first one of these.

    Labi Siffre - "It Must Be Love"



    Madness - "It Must Be Love" (that's Siffre at the end taking off his sunglasses and smiling for the camera)
