Subject: Re: What songs would you like to hear Basia cover? How about "Smooth Operator"? Oh wait, nevermind. ;) Seriously, I'd like to hear her do "It's Too Late" by Carole King. Or "Miss Chantelaine" by K.D. Lang. How about "Strong Enough" by Sheryl Crow. Take it in a different direction, like Michael Buble did with "Kissing a Fool". Or "Fallin" by Alicia Keys. Just some thoughts. Barry ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2006 12:33:15 EST From: JPovlock@aol.com Subject: Re: What songs would you like to hear Basia cover? Even though I'm very non-religious, I would really like to hear Basia do a Christmas CD. I hope this counts as a "cover"!

She had made Angels Blush but of course it would be better if she also sings other Christmas songs. O Holy Night, for example. I can imagine she sings it. ---- Czesc, Desianto F.

Definitely have Donald Fagen and Basia sing Walk Between the Raindrops(Nightfly) and Ruby Ruby(the old Leiber/Stoller tune also from NF). Stevie song? Knocks Me off my Feet would be a worthy candidate. Moldy oldies? Fly Me to The Moon, Desifinados, Michael Franks' Antonio's Song Nat King Cole's A Blossom Fell Beatles' Here There and Everywhere(with a bend towards George Benson's arrangement although if she copied Emmy Lou Harris, I wouldn't mind) Karen Carpenter's Masquerade(think Leon Russel acutually wrote it) I'd even let Richard arrange it Duet with Barry Manilow's version of Summer Wind She deserves a duet with Al Jarreau too.
