Well, the problem is that Milli didn't really sing herself. Oh wait, that was Milli Vanilli.

This one is pretty good but Milli tried a bit too hard to seem bluesy. I liked Thelma Gracen's simpler, sincere style a lot better. Plus she was accompanied by our Auld friend, Georgie.

You can enjoy both here:

This album represented a perfect storm: the confluence of orchestra, conductor, material and time to produce a definitive performance that is spellbinding from the first note.

No, but when anyone said the word "egg", I ran around imitating a chicken.
