The question is all over Yahoo Questions, but no one can give a definite answer. A few think it is a special arrangement especially for that commercial because of the lyrics. One suggested Jane Monheit. Who knows. It could be some obscure cabaret singer who made a couple thousand dollars in a recording studio one day and doesn't even know who Jobim was. Or not. Hey, anyone heard Kelly Sweet's version of Dream On? It doesn't suck. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-basia@smoe.org [mailto:owner-basia@smoe.org] On Behalf Of David Higginson Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 2:18 PM To: basia@smoe.org Subject: Re: British Gas is a Gas!

Hey, anyone heard Kelly Sweet's > version of Dream On? It doesn't suck. I am all over Kelly Sweet. I love love love her music. Dream On does not suck, and I love the version of Raincoat that she did with Dave Koz. I hope to hear a lot more from her.

Based on this information (which is flimsy), it may be Sheena Davis: "Sheena recently (2001/2002) won the *British Gas/Tomorrow's People Award* and theGroups first album 'Smile' was released last May to criticalacclaim. Sheena has an incredible diverse range with a strong and cleardelivery which is put to good full use on the group's tightarrangements of popular standards and unexpected reworkings of modernclassics." I have emailed British Gas and asked them. Sheen Davis' website is down, so I can't ask her.
