Les Miserables: Bring Him Home.



I once heard a snippet by a contralto (female) on an American thing. Absolutely marvellous but could never find who she was. This is a decent second choice.

Not the best singy bit but Emily Bear's piano is superb. Emily is something of a child prodigy.

This street holds its secrets like a cobra holds its kill
This street minds its business like a jailer minds his jail
That house there is haunted
That door's a portal to hell
This street holds its secrets very well
That man wears his skin like a dancer wears her veils
That man stalks his victims like a cancer stalks a cell
That man's soul has left him his heart's as deadly as a rusty nail
That man sheds his skin like a veil
Lord, you play a hard game, you know we follow every rule
Then you take the one thing we thought we'd never lose
All I ask is if she's with you please keep her warm and safe
And if it's in your power please purge the memory of this place
This life holds its secrets like a sea shell holds the sea,
Soft and distant calling like a fading memory
This life has its victories but its defeats tear so viciously
This life holds its secrets like the sea
Songwriters: Michael Timmins

After the ok-ish Tommy Dorsey track "Down by the Station" a few tracks autoplayed on in the background in an unoffensive pleasantish way.

Quite surprised on returning to the "tab" the vocalist on the tracks was non other than Frank Sinatra very laid back and hardly recognisable as Frank Sinatra. More knowledgeable Sinatra-istas than myself will pick out his characteristic tones more readily than me of course

here's one

Prompted by Y day on the A-Z thread I came across this video which I think is a classic example of the trouble with miming to a recorded track in the 1960's!!
