Title: "It'll Never Happen Again" by Lady Blackbird
Post by: southendmd on March 07, 2024, 11:07:11 pm

About a year ago, I was driving to PTown and I heard this on the radio.  I just about had to pull over, I was so overcome. 

Who is this Lady Blackbird?  With the crazy white 'fro?  Supposedly a punk artist back in the day, now transformed herself into a jazz singer. 

Here is the first version I heard:

I had no idea it was a song from the '60s.  Here is the original by Tim Hardin in 1966:

The very popular British singer Cilla Black covered it in 1968:

Lovely song. I like the first singer best. She has a jazz feel the others lack.

He can't even compare to Lady Blackbird, imo.
