Here is another instalment of five songs from the last week. Have a listen!
1. Dance with my father – Celine Dion (orig. by Luther Vandross)
A long-standing client brought this in, and it never fails to choke me up!
2. Show and tell – Al Wilson
This is a song I’ve been looking at on and off, specifically the Peabo Bryson version, but the Al Wilson one is excellent as well!
3. Can’t take my eyes off of you – Frankie Valli
A client is preparing this as a first dance song for a friend’s wedding, so it was a very touching lesson to hear this done!
4. Thinking Out Loud – Ed Sheeran
This has been featured before, but a client has been trying more and more adventurous songs, and this is a big step up for them – well done!
5. Writing’s on the Wall – Sam Smith (from ‘Spectre’)
I was actually watching Spectre earlier in the week, and as a client who is a big fan of Sam Smith (and this song in particular) was also in, it was nice to be able to hear this again and figured I’d share it in this post.
If you’ve enjoyed this, have a search for more of ‘songs from the last week’.
