This is an album of covers that featured almost the pop hit songs in 1970s-1990s. Jimmy Scott has sung them in his inimitable, jazz-informed style. It sounds like that those songs would be Jimmy's original ones by his unique singing, speaking behind the beat and changing the phrasings. Including Boy George's "The Crying Game", John Lennon's "Jealous Guy", Simply Red's "Holding Back The Years", Elvis Costello's "Almost Blue", Bryan Ferry's "Slave To Love", Sinead O'Conner's "Nothing Compares 2 U" (Prince composed this song and covered it by himself), and Elton John's "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word". LP - analogue disc's limited edition of " Holding Back the Years " was released in April 2001, only in Japan. | ||||
