Wow. My three favorite inspirations in one song: Herbie, joni, Elvis.
-
You've got to be kiddin' me. Was Hancock trying to promote his RIVER album? I don't think Elvis was really ready to do this one. Hancock saved it though. After all he's got an album to sell.
-
Denzel Washington could easily play Herbie Hancock in a biopic. They look like they could be related.
-
Is there anything EC can't do musically. I don't think. He just keeps confirming what I've known many years ago. EC is a musical genius. Thanks for sharing this video.

Melody Gardot with Herbie at Abbey Road does performs it way better than Joni..
-
Here's another attempt at trying to sound cool by singing a cover version of a song that cannot be surpassed. Skip this and go straight to Joni Mitchells original ¦¬D
-
Have to disagree wholeheartedly that Mitchell's original is a pop song. It's one of her best songs. Elvis does a very good version here, but that's to be expected.
-
@dancing0being agreed that the original is basically a pop song, but this version really isn't. i don't get the whole thing about "jazz and blues black magic".
-
Costello is a bit obsessed with jazz and blues black magic (a nice and polite way for me to say when someone has nothing creative to offer). I think it would be nice to wake up a bit. Joni Mitchell created a pop-rock song mainly.
