Cover charge!

When I look for new artists to listen to I usually pick up "the Best of" titles or some OST. Once I like a particular song, then starts the shopping spree looking for the "well known" albums. I hate listening to covers of famous songs only to find out that these "artists" had just butchered the songs.

Now, there is an exception to the rule. Yesterday's, telecast of Michael Buble's "Caught in the act" concert Star world actually proved that this chap HAS talent. His originals were punctuated with a healthy dose of classics from Ray charles and other legends. He also played stuff like "sway with me". His style is more that of a crooner...a la Sinatra and the rat pack. So if you like that kind of music, you will surely enjoy this guy.

Here are the lyrics to one of Michael Buble's originals (is also on the ost of the date movie..I think :))
Worth a listen!

Song - Save the last dance for me
Album - it's time

You can dance-every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye and let him hold you tight
You can smile-every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the candle light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me

Oh I know that the musics fine
Like sparklin' wine and go and have your fun
Laugh and sing and but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much

You can dance and go and carry ON
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he take you home and you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling and save the last dance for me

'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling and save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
