Wow. This moves you to a different state of mind during morning coffee.

Like him singing The Man Who Sold the World. Hypnotizing.

Thanks for posting.

I listened to unplugged in ny so many times in high school I wore out the tape. Probably still have the tape somewhere lol Same with Sheryl Crow the self titled album.

She’s pretty amazing. Benny and the Jets was covered well too.

You're watching the official music video for Laura Branigan - "Gloria" from the album 'Branigan' (1982). This cover of Umberto Tozzi's Italian song "Gloria" reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 36 weeks on the chart, setting a new record for a single by a solo female act at the time.

Best version I've ever heard of Stardust. Love it.

Pearl Jam covering Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns by Mother Love Bone. Very moving. Lot of backstory to this. I don't know if it's better but it's nice to hear it being sung all these years later. RIP Andrew.

Not better... maybe not even equal to Waits' original, but certainly a worthy retelling.
