Motherless Child

{actually find the poor video rather appropriate}


One of my all-time favorite songs is Portishead featuring Tom Jones in Motherless Child. The song is so amazing though that just about every rendition is moving (except that Kathleen Emery bit) such this one by Odetta, here very old. I also love how Mathalia Jackson seamlessly combines Summertime and Motherless Child... note how rocking chair chic she is!
