Yet another great posting from you Jung!
Love the Time Song from the Kinks. I never heard that before. Great song selections from every one else. I’ll add:

This one is stretching it a bit. But in a small way its about time. Maybe more about regret.
Seen a shooting star tonight
Slip away
Tomorrow will be
Another day
Guess it’s too late to say the things to you
That you needed to hear me say
Seen a shooting star tonight
Slip away -

Great topic Jacki. I have so many favourite Female vocalists. But Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Carole King & Amy Winehouse immediately come to mind.
Although Janis Joplin did not have a technically great voice, the power and emotion she conveys is unequaled.

Howard, what a great song. Thanks for posting it. At first I thought that Verdelle Smith took Hardy’s song changed the lyrics and made her own English version. But no, originally it was an Italian song by Adriano Celentano, Luciano Beretta and Miki Del Prete.
Here is the English translation of the original Italian song:
The Boy From Gluck Street
this is the story
of one of us.
and this boy, by chance, was born in Via Gluck.
in a house outside the city
where people are quiet and hardworkingWhere there was grass, now there is
a city
and that house
in the middle of green fields, by now?
where can it be?this boy from Via Gluck
he enjoyed playing with me
but one day he said to me
“I’m going to the city”
and he was crying while he said it.
I said “my dear friend
aren’t you happy?
you’ll finally live in the city.
there you can find all the things you don’t have here.
you can shower without going
down into the courtyard!”My dear friend said to me
“I was born here,
in this street
now I leave my heart.
How do you not understand
that you who stay are the lucky ones?
you can run barefoot through the fields
while i’m downtown breathing the cement.
but there will come a time when I return
back here
and i’ll hear my friend, the train
that whistles like so:
‘wa wa!'”The years pass
and 8 years is a long time.
Though the boy has come a long way
he does not forget his first house.
now, with the money to buy it
he returns, but doesn’t find the friends he had
just house on top of house
asphalt and cement
Where there was grass, now there is
a city
and that house
in the middle of green fields, by now?
where can it be?Ehi, Ehi,
La la la… la la la la la…
Eh no,
I don’t know, i don’t know why
why they continue
to build houses
and they don’t leave any grass
they don’t leave any grass
they don’t leave any grass
they don’t leave any grassEh no,
if we are progressing like this, who knows
how we will end up
who knows…Here is a video of Hardy singing the original Italian version:
