Prefab Sprout - Nightingales

[@jasonsmith5325]

This charming version highlights the depth and genius of Paddy's songwriting.

[@janolofalroth598]

Paddy was a songwriter in the tradition from Gerschwin and Bacharach, so I'm not surprised that to hear Nightingales in a jazzy big band version.

[@robfalgiano]

This is a lovely rendition and vocal performance of a fantastic Paddy McAloon song. It almost works better as pure jazz ballad this way. The slower tempo emphasizes the beauty of the melody and chords.

[@alfonsoalmazan933]

Masterpirece from one of the best groups and more underrated in music history.

[@johndoe-ep7qk]

hear, hear

[@hoohargh9945]

❤🎶

[@ajakuk1]

I knew Martin mcAloon he was my course leader in 2001. He is one of the most amazing music men ever. Their music is making a come back. I can just feel it.

[@davevincent5453]

There were many great groups around in the 80s that deserved the recognition of being underrated, some not even played on radio

[@JohnM...]

This song - the Sprout version - saved me from depression.

[@sterobwall]

Me too :)

[@patrickbateman9197]

Same for me. I never thought, over decades, someone else would feel the same. Prefab Sprout got me through the most difficult times in my life. Thank you for posting your experience. Much love.

[@mrmeg01]

Hope your clouds have lifted

[@patrickbateman9197]

@@mrmeg01 thank you so much. Very kind of you. I'm in a better place now. Still a long way to go.

[@LyleWorkmanofficial]

What a beautiful rendition of a sublime song.

[@siralfredramsey]

Respect, I didn't had in my mind how great this tune really is...

[@tonybarruk2]

I can't believe I've only just seen this, it's wonderful... Paddy actually wrote this for Barbra Streisand as one of his legendary "projects", an album of songs for other people to sing (similarly, "I Remember That" was meant for Ray Charles) I guess this as close as we'll get to a Streisand version! Thanks for posting 🙏

[@lxxwj]

omg i had no idea thats so cool

[@Slice68]

any song off that album still stands as a classic

[@sylvainsncf]

Oh m'y God! What a cover! UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[@jasonfernee2401]

Prefab Sprout were an amazing English band and what a fabulous tribute to a great song performed by an equally amazing live band and singer.

[@patriziapiva3201]

😮Magnifica interpretazione di un capolavoro di Paddy Mac Aloon: un genio del pop (e sono pochi).

[@wagnersouza6970]

Wonderful arrangement..the musical quality of Patrick McAloon is divine..

[@quiquebuxeda6044]

Paddy

[@TomWardleMusic]

This is superb. So classy. She sang it wonderfully too. One of my favourite Paddy songs. The key changes in it are mindblowing.

[@hoohargh9945]

Chills n tingles

[@louise_rose]

She's long had a big following in Sweden and Denmark (she normally sings in Swedish). One of many compelling Swedish soul/r'n'b singers :)

[@bluggdrainor4686]

[@oliviersbg9226]

Sweet version, sweet Paddy..

[@UncannyAleman]

Stunning.

[@alexispitrou2885]

FABULOUS

[@toastedhippo]

I never knew Mark Kermode was such an accomplished saxophonist.

[@mosmmosm6661]

Paddy Is a master song.

[@markdawson-smith1950]

So great that the music is so appreciated by those who don't even understand the band's name. A very nice version, though.

[@jfred5258]

Brilliant, thx !

[@monsieurajames4805]

Voici des gens qui ont fort bon goût !

[@bobgold57]

Just beautiful. Such a creative arrangement. Great horn work, as well as the solos and Ms Nilsson's vocal. Taking the synthesizer built track of the original and turning it into an acoustic arrangement like this is no small feat. Its something I've thought of doing with some of my favorite songs of Prefab (for piano). And it makes me wish Paddy could sing some of his best songs with such a sensitive group. And what are those Sprouts, anyway?

[@bluggdrainor4686]

How about a big band version of "Hey Manhattan"? or "Carnival 2000"? :-)

[@darenreynolds8824]

If there wasnt a single note of music it would still be beyond beautifull

[@daleywhaley]

Just beautiful.

[@myxgroupmyx8896]

👏👏👏👏👏💕💕

[@terrynoonan6616]

False description in title,which is a shame because I like this,writer Paddy McAloon is a big Gershwin fan so his music suits this version ,however,....who is this?

[@hugoklau]

Sweden's undisputed queen of soul, Lisa Nilsson

[@bubblegumgun3292]

😭😭

[@WESSERPARAQUAT]

Would have fitted perfectly for Sinatra , it's like a Sinatra song 100%

[@Lanceawright]

There´s no imperfections in Danes. I dunno it´s just the way they are.

[@gasparucciox9706]

[@sarahsenha595]

Really ??? Thought was the woman of the band .
