    Traffic. Crank the volume up until you get the drums and Stevie's fade-in-fade-out crybaby soul right where you want them, but prepare to get your china rattled when the organ thunders in. It's like listening to a circus passing over your grave. Or maybe I just need to mint up.

    I used to like the Lyn Marino one okay, but I can no longer really get with how she fucks up the lyric. "Sleep in peace 'til day is done"? Damn, girl.

    I heard a Joe Claussell remix of the Nina version that was pretty butt. Or, rather, very butt.

    Carmen McCrae: Woman Talk (Live At The Village Gate).

    It's on mainstream, recorded in 65? A fantastic afro/latin tinged groove... one of the best versions ever, gives Nina a run for her money even.

    Heh, I like the Lyn Marino - sounds like a young Blossom Dearie. Neither of them sound as if they can actually sing but both manage to carry it off, lyrical fuck ups aside... but, yeah, Nina simone's version is the one for me.
