Hi Roberto .. thank you for posting this but with all due respect, it's not to my liking. So few people seem to 'lift' Burt's songs and bring them really to life. I think it's a lot to do with phrasing and timing. I thought Isaac Hayes struggled a bit as well in this respect. I thought the song you have posted was quite a laboured interpretation.. Sorry!

I have to agree with Gill; not my facorite interpretation by a long shot. Lacks so much but interesting nonetheless.

i cannot be more than super agree with gillandon about the rendition of the video posted by Roberto.
few people but...very few, are able to give the right emotion and the sense of timing which are necessary for this kind of repertoire.with due respect to the artist who i'm sure he tries to be professional,but has nothin' to do with the music of our Old Man.I mean,like Quincy Jones said about another fellow:He's not in the pocket!bye

What would be awesome would be a Karima/Trinitje tour.....
One can hope....
