i had this on an extended rotation* of the best stuff on my well-travelled little usb drive (by now no doubt famous). had to go back and listen to ‘the work song’ again, then find the nina simone version, then listen to this version again. well. well, well, well.
this was shared on dime by ‘michaelmee’ back in february 2013, and well done there, michaelmee, thanks.
