Oh man. It doesn’t get any better than this.  Tony Bennett and Stevie Wonder singing For Once In My Life.  Together.  What a great vibe.  I mean – set aside the fact that these  two men are great and influential vocal stylists – they just obviously really love and respect each other.

This makes the music really something special.

I found this video at The Daily Dish.

Listen to this with your eyes closed. Then watch the video if you’d like. But listen first.

I’m a huge Joni Mitchell fan. I don’t like everything she’s done, and there are some things that I LOVE that I can’t listen to every day or even every year – and yet – wow…

What’s my favorite Joni Mitchell album? Night Ride Home, hands down. It came out in 1991. I was late getting started with CDs. When I first got a CD player I went to a store – next to the Yale Co-op in New Haven? – and bought three discs. Sargent Pepper’s Lonley Hearts Club Band by The Beatles, Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions – and then I wanted to get one more. I saw there was a new Joni Mitchell disc in a fancy collector’s package.
