If you’ve ever wondered to yourself what a record producer does, all I can say is listen to this track, know that Stokes self-produced this album, and understand that no producer worth his salt would have allowed this trainwreck onto the final product.
I like it when rock/pop acts cover showtunes.
I do not like it when they run roughshod over the lyrics.
When Gigi, Lerner & Loewe’s written-for-film adaptation of the novella by Colette, took home the Best Original Song award, it had been five years since the Oscar went to a song from an actual musical. This isn’t my favorite song from Gigi, but what do I know? The film took home nine Oscars total, including Best Picture.
