Here Comes The Sun performed by Nina Simone 1971

Nina's version of this George Harrison classic is brilliant. She makes this song sound as if it were her own. The emotion in her voice send chills down my spine.

It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing performed by Duke Ellington w. Ivie Anderson 1932
Composed by Duke Ellington, Irving Mills

This song has probably been done a thousand times, but this version is definitely worth listening to. To me this is pure music. Ivie Anderson's voice fits just perfectly with The Duke's music, it's as if she was meant to sing his songs.
