Just thought I would ask. What do you think of today's artist that remake some of the old classics?

I am always looking for CD's like these. I know that I can buy these songs by the original artist but sometimes I like to hear other singers do their version of the classics. Do any of you know of other CD's like these that are good?

Modern artists remaking classics, eh? Well my favorite would have to be this one:

Wolfgang's Big Night Out​

The Brian Setzer Orchestra swingin' Beethoven and Bach. Ya' can't get more classic than that! lol

fftopic: Lady Hadley,

Excellente remarque! but I see her from a different perspective: first she was a bright woman, then a very talented artist...finally she married Sarko...

Thank You, and have a great day.

When you consider how often the great songs are covered, and how the vast majority were written by songwriters as opposed to the artists who covered them, it's tough to say there's only one definitive version of most songs. Each artist gives it an interpretation, and we will either like or dislike it according to one's own tastes.

I enjoy many modern artists' interpretations of the "standards" (there's irony), both crooners and bands:

Diana Krall
Michael Bublé
Bryan Ferry
Harry Connick Jr
Brian Setzer
Colin James
Johnny Favourite

Couldn't agree more. It was my husband's and my first dance at our wedding.

An interesting voice

Patrick Bruel has a great voice. Here is one of his most famous song, but he did a great remade of old french classics from the 1930..:

"I know how a lot of "Artistes" have jumped on the Nostalgia band wagon, "Yes Rod Stewart I'm looking at you" but really I do think Harry Connick Junior was one of the first contemporary stars to introduce Swing to a whole new generation in the 1990's?"

No, however, I believe it takes just as much creativity to interpret as it does to write. In some regards more as the artist is working within the constraints of the piece s/he is interpreting.
