I've really gotten into YouTube just lately. I've found some fabulous stuff which I'd forgotten about and some oldies and new stuff which I either vaguely remember or have never heard before. It's an absolute treasure chest for the ears and often for the soul too.
I've also, surprisingly, discovered Charlotte Church. I knew who she was, of course, but wasn't impressed with her bratty image and bland pop songs. However, I've found a wealth of her early stuff which just sends shivers down the spine. I love this stuff.

Doncha just LOVE all the FAB stuff you can find on YouTube?
All those little gems and classics you had thought were lost forever?
*sigh* I love YouTube! :-4
hehe
Youtube fascinates me, there is so much to find there, one could spend hours just scrolling through !
The old boy singing the Coldplay song, I think his name is Fred Kittle - he died a while ago, but he left a lovely memory! I really think that his version of that song is far better than Coldplay's :wah: Suits his voice very well. I know that the first time I heard him sing that, it brought tears to my eyes.

Seeing as I have exams coming up, 'Je ne veux pas travailler' (I don't want to work) by Edith Piaf sums me up nicely!

This song is getting big from being on Slumdog Millionaire. I heard my kids listening it and after a couple of times hearing it I now really like it.

She's good at that, is Pinkstuff. Introducing us to music we may not have picked up on.
I'm grateful to her for that.

That's a nice version Chick! I like it. Mind you, I think I like The Sundays one just as much, closely followed by the Stones one....

i've been on a scavenger hunt for unique/different covers of songs.
pay no attention to the video, just listen to the song
