Great classic song that still remains fresh over tested time. Diane you are one great singer in your own right. I'm glad I heard this! Thank you!

[dianemarino]

@bassiclogic Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed our new version of "Groovin"!

[mikeao54]

One of the best songs ever written. It is a true standard in the same way songs by Cole Porter, the Gershwin's, Bacharach and David, Lennon and McCartney are.

I think your new version is fantastic.

@mikeao54

Thanks for watching and for your kind comments! I agree, "Groovin" should be part of the "New Great American Songbook" !

[mikeao54]

@dianemarino In my book it is!

George Ox-Bow:

Great rendition. Loved the original and this version was a perfect compliment. Diane sounds tremendous and Felix is perfect!

[TwainsBlues]

Diane,

This will be used in my middle school class this year. I feature classic music each day at the end of my classes. Felix and you deserve to be at the top of the list. Many thanks and I hope you will perform in Minneapolis soon. We would love to have you visit our music department and the kids. Steve B.

[dianemarino]

@professormed I'm glad you enjoyed our new version of "Groovin".....It has always been a favorite of mine and having Felix sing and play on this track was inspirational! Will let you know if I'm ever in your area....would love to meet and perform for your kids!

Best regards to you and all your young musicians!

So cool - you did a classic justice Diane. And Felix sounds like I've never heard - wow - thanks!

[dianemarino]

@BennyR0ma Thanks so much ....I'm glad you enjoyed "our new version"....Felix was a joy to work with!

[LYNXVAL]

I like the Blusey sound of the same song! Who is she??

[wbhrash]

Yes, I like what they did with this. The original was tough. This is another good interpretation of a great song

[Edhallick]

The only problem I have with this version is that it`s unnecessary. I can appreciate what they are trying to do, put a new angle on it, but the original version covers all that. What they should have done is stuck to the original arrangement and switched off between male and female voice.

[Edhallick]

I get so jealous when I hear people who have voices like that. It`s truly a gift. It`s not something you can teach or train, I mean sure you can get somewhat to a level with training or teaching, but that kind of instrument is something you can only be born with.

[posthumanhero]

yea, its like people telling me i coul 'develop' my voice.....bullshit.....born with a mid-range, die with mid range.....period.......falsett­o -- well that's another story........and, really, who wants to hear a man sing falsetto?.....lol

[Shawn200220012000200]

Diane, that classic along with Felix Cavaliere of The Young Rascals is superb! Diane, you did it again!

Love & Music, Shawn!

[dianemarino]
