Emeli Sandé - Clown

Joe writes: I have mixed feelings about Emeli Sandé but there's no denying this song which I think could be her biggest hit yet.

There are shades of Stephen Sondheim's Send In The Clowns which is obviously a big compliment.

Nina Simone - My father

Phil writes: Some time ago I saw a clip of Judy Collins singing this song of hers and wondered about posting it then. I knew it was a good song but wasn't quite sure how good. I just caught this Nina Simone version on a film of her last recorded live performance. I find it very moving and deeply felt, in a way that the original doesn't quite match.
