And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Petula Clark "Downtown" (2023 New Extended Revisit Mix) - By Request
I wonder if they cleaned up the original tracks, if available, or used AI to separate the instruments and cleaned them up from there. Sounds really great!
I just heard a new version of Downtown and it is pretty good. Excellent voice. https://dailytimewaster.blogspot.com/2024/04/downtown-downtempo-performed-by-anya.html
Being able to sing w/o musical accompaniment separates real singers from just avg ones.

ReplyDeleteStill one of my favorites from the sixties
ReplyDeleteIt's really from 1956 ... but the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night" is perpetually voted the best oldies song ever sung.

ReplyDeleteI got it from this blog. glad you put the second one up.
DeleteSuch a pure vocal tone. It doesn’t get much better than this. She’s 91 years old, which is hard to believe.
ReplyDeleteOne of the songs that takes me right back and plunks me in the sixties. I first heard it on a AM car radio with one speaker in the dash.
