Excuse me for interrupting your adolescent drivel, but do you realize what she's doing in this version? I'm descended from generations of New Orleans musicians and I have also had the pleasure of performing this song too many times to mention. She has changed it's usage by turning it into the song sung by the second-line after the funeral. It is not sung as a dirge! If you need further clarification, please feel free to ask. I for one find this version quite refreshing, extraordinarily creative!

Lou Rawls is great too. I heard him sing this in 1965.

I love her, and I love this song. I first heard it when I was in high school and I've loved Cassandra every since.

Stop arguing and enjoy it. Great band and singer.

That's a different approach. Rewrote the lyrics quite a bit but hey, make it your own.

Man, the pianist, Jonathan Batiste, takes it to another level!!!
Cassandra Wilson is not only an amazing singer but a genius of orchestration.

Dear Mr. Lafforte, you've been hammered to death in this forum. Perhaps you should just move on, or direct us all to your great version of this great song. Peace out.
