Annie Lennox remade "Whiter Shade of Pale"...

[hholli11]

I am listening to it online right now. There was a thread in here about songs that defined the Viet Nam era for people and I said that one. Then there wsas a thread about songs that make you cry...

sniff, sniff.

1. Wow

I have a few versions of that song...but not the Annie Lennox version. I bet it is very haunting.

2. I remember that one.

Several years ago, she did a cd of cover songs...and "Whiter Shade of Pale" was on it. Nice version.

Ms. Lennox is due for another solo cd, IMO.

3. It's screaming for a flash!!!

and yes, it was haunting.

4. She had one I think 2 years back, was good.

She has a helluva voice.

5. She did a whole CD of covers

including Train in Vain, Whiter Shade of Pale, Downtown Lights, I Can't Get Next to You, Thin Line Between Love and Hate, and Something So Right.

6. Always wondered - What is a Whiter Shad of Pale?

I'm missing something subtle here. Or is is just pretty words.

7. I thought it was meant to be a ghostly shade...

as though someone were dying. But I am a Gen Xer so perhaps my elder brethren would know better.

9. Whiter Shade of Pale has always touched my heart. I love Annie Lennox.

Thank you. I'll add this to my next CD shopping list. :)
