Today's choice of music is here in spite of the video being of terrible quality, for which I apologise and for having a cringe - making introduction, not my fault.
It's Tracey Thorne and Ben Watt otherwise known as 'Everything but the girl', because when they were trying to get a record contract as young students they were repeatedly told that the act was great, bound to be a success and we'd like to sign 'Everything but the girl'.
I always loved 'Each and Everyone' but as a pared down live acoustic version this is unbeatable and you get two songs for the price of one.
Thorne went on to be the voice of the 1980's - guesting with The Style Council on 'Paris Match', with Working Week on 'Venceremos' and in the 1990's headlining with Massive Attack just as they got enormous.
They were also sampled and mixed and ended up as an unlikely dance act in the 90's.
But this is like distilled spirits, clear and bright.....eau de vie.
A voice to die for and an acoustic accompaniment that's just perfect. Live music to dream of.
