The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 "Hammerhead" by John Zorn & Naked City "Parker's Mood" - the take one false start by Charlie Parker.... Oh, I'm sorry. I thought the topic was "Best five second versions." MG From the country music world Tramp on the Street (1. Molly O'Day, 2. Hank Williams) When God Comes and Gathers His Jewels (1. Molly O'Day, 2. Hank Williams) Six More Miles to the Graveyard (1. Hank Williams, 2. Molly O'Day) Singing Waterfall (1. Hank Williams, 2. Molly O'Day) So, who's Molly O'Day? MG Quote
Neal Pomea Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Molly O'Day had a brief but brilliant career in country music in the late 1940s, contemporary with Hank Williams. They did a lot of the same songs. Her best remembered song was probably Teardrops Falling in the Snow. She left the country music industry to sing gospel music. Here is a clip of her doing Six More Miles to the Graveyard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX75BX7auQY Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Thank you - good song. MG Quote
AllenLowe Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 did someone mention Molly Oday? I like The Singing Waterfall, a Hank Williams tune she did. best thing, however, was her record of duets with cousin Anita. Quote
Royal Oak Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Stolen Moments - the Booker Ervin maybe? Obviously, the original is no 1. Quote
