Louis Armstrong - Go Down Moses

El antiguo testamento cantado,
quizá asi habría puesto atención.



Chorus sings:go down moses
Way down in egypt land
Tell all pharaoes to
Let my people go!

Armstrong:
When israel was in egypt land...
Let my people go!

Oppressed so hard they could not stand...
Let my people go!

So the God seyeth: go down, moses
Way down in egypt land
Tell all pharaoes to
Let my people go!

So moses went to egypt land...
Let my people go!

He made all pharaoes understand...
Let my people go!
Yes the lord said go down, moses
Way down in egypt land
Tell all pharaoes to
Let my people go!

Thus spoke the lord, bold moses said:
-let my people go!
if not Ill smite, your firstborns dead
-let my people go!

God-the lord said go down, moses
Way down in egypt land
Tell all pharaoes to
Let my people go!

Tell all pharaoes
To
Let my people go

The Box Tops - The Letter

1967



Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

Well, she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister, can't you see I got to get back
To my baby once-a more
Anyway, yeah!

Screamin Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You

Esto yo lo llamo "interpretar" una canción.
Es genial!




Pd. Lo reconozco la versión de Creendence es muy buena también.

I put a spell on you
Because youre mine.
You better stop
The things that youre doin.
I said watch out!
I aint lyin, yeah!
I aint gonna take none of your
Foolin around;
I aint gonna take none of your
Puttin me down;
I put a spell on you
Because youre mine.
All right!

The Animals - House of the rising sun

No se conoce el autor de esta canción, pero para mi, esta versión (que debe ser la más conocida) es la mejor.

Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come

Mil veces "covereado" pero nunca igualado.
Un ícono de la música. Corta vida. Larga lista de éxitos.



I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

BRIDGE:

And then I go to see my brother
And I ask him to help me please
And he just winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

There were times when I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
