I ventured into town this morning in a valiant effort to venture further afield.
After about fifteen minutes traipsing around the shops I was in great need of a rest and a sit down :roll: so I found a bench in the precinct and sat down to listen to a lone musician playing pop classics on his electric guitar.
One tune he played instantly made me think of Julie Covington's great version from the 1970's..so of course when I arrived home I had to find her version on Youtube. I just love her pure and gutsy voice

"Don't Cry For Me Argentina"

If you remember the classic 1970's TV programme Rock Follies then you will know Julie Covington from that.

After listening to various versions of the song I decided that out of all the others I like this version by Sinead O' Connor as an alternative. It is in a completely different style to Julie Covingtons and although some say it is lacking in emotion it displays a quiet subtle strength and power in Sinead's voice that doesn't need to be belted out, also I think the orchestra arrangement is fabulous.
