I am black and don't for one moment think that we are the only people who have had to bare the heart ache or slavery they we many whites who were killed for the cause and they suffered the same "evil" we faced. Her heart is in the right place bless her don't curse her please stop the "evil"
It's disrespectful to take a song that was birthed out of struggle and and heartache and death, and try to make is appealing to the listeners ear. If you're going to add to the song-make it your own, remember the ones who sang it and why, where they were in their lives and why this song has sustained until this day. It's not about black or white... it's about a song that originated from slavery and brokenness, and fear... and we've taken it and made it merely appealing rather than meaningful.
@bishopgeoffrey what a load of crap - most songs are borne from some type of slavery, may it be Black American or just to commercial consumerism, brokenness or fear. The reason we listen is because it is appealing to the ear and the emotions - if something sounded like crap would you listen to it?
Fantastic! bishopgeoffrey is a fool. In his world no-one would ever dare to do anything. In hisworld Elviswould never have started rock 'n' roll (not pure), there would be no R&B, no folk/rock etc etc
So white people are not allowed to sing "race" music? A fool and a fascist also!
@bishopgeoffrey So bishopgeoffrey is a purist. Does that mean that you can't sing the song unless you are coloured? Have you never heard Judie Henske sing this? Should the Rolling Stones never havesung black R&B. Or Clapton sung the blues or Zeppelin never "borrowed" Willie Dixon songs? What p[lanet are you from. Should all music stay in it's own neat compartment and never move? You are a fool
Nice to know we have such phenomenal musical genius' deigning to look at humble old you tube and feeling able to comment on this fabulous version of a classic. Or are you just dicks with an inferiority complex? This womans voice is amazing, shut up and listen.
I think you last couple of people are not hearing the same as me. Cherry has an incredible voice and I would give my left arm to be able to sing like that! You are nuts!!
Thanx for the reply...Judy is playing dates in LA this month..She should Cherry's version some time. Heard the album today... best album of the year so far as far as I'm concerned. Nice range..That Cry me a River is a killer. She will make lots of freinds this year I think. at the festivals. Next year in the states for sure.
Hey all, there's a great cover of this song on youtube. It's a by a band called The Competition. I have it in my favourites!! Check it out you'll really like it if you like this song.
Funnily that was the only version of this song Cherry had heard before the session. This was 2 years ago. It will be on her set list this Summer 09 for the Blues Festivals, she loves the song and she always pays credit to the lady she first heard sing it.
this is shelley from okc. You said Blues Festival. Where is this at? I love this girl singing. She is heaven sent. ooohhh, lovely. Please respond to me. talk to ya later.
I work for a leading music magazine and I think this girl's voice is phenomenal and I think she has a great interpretation of this track. There are no rules about someone's use of syncopation in a song - and no substitute for personal style and flair - which this girl has a lot of. You strike me as the wannabe A&R professional in this situation - and are probably just a disillusioned individual with nothing constructive to contribute - but please, go ahead - and prove me wrong?!
Wow, Cyranox, you are one sad individual! This IS phenomenal, and I feel jealousy, and your ethnic background, are the main reasons for your rant. Get a life!
I was just giving my impression on her interpretation of the song, for anyone who may be interested. It's not terrible, because the girl has a fairly good voice. I'm just saying certain things she did stylistically sounded forced. And what does ethnicity have to do with anything?
i agree with your original comment, its average not phenomenonal, normally when i hear renditions of this song i get goosebumps, this time not even close. it was like a decent karooke attempt, forced sounding with no real soul
Great cover! You have an amazing voice - and fantastic guitar accompaniment too, love it. Just remind the cameraman to take his finger off the lens next time....
Thanks for the comment, when I did this session I remember Cherry saying she had not heard the Eva Cassidy version! She heard the Judy Henske version when she was little and loved it.
She's in the studio again over the next few months.
i'v been a fan of the eva cassidy versiona for such a long time n never thought it would be topped. you haven't done it!! But i must say from an extensive backround in music that this performance is somewhat astounding! Your vocal range is so extensive it's unreal! This will be bookmarked and shared without a doubt! Well done, and without stating the inevitable, congrats on your future =) keep knocking out the true classics! B.D
Ok after going round and round seeing every other cover of this song I can honestly say that you are the one who delivers it best. Nice rhythm and you gave it your own style, which is always a plus. Its raw, powerful when it should be, overall a great performance.
me and all of my singing friends sang this for king cotton premiers in manchester and the empire and i have to say we could never sing as good as you do that was amazing well done and keep it up
