Peggy Lee: Black Coffee
"and soothing music for the listener's mellow mood." (flavouritegirl/amazon.ca) "Peg war das Girl des großen Bedauerns." (Mark Murphy) "But in “Black Coffee”, where she so artfully mimics the inflections of Billie Holliday so that it sounds natural to her, Peggy Lee is on fire." (blog.nyfos.org)
"Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry"
Charles Brown: Black Nite
"schwach" (sanremo/hitparade.ch) "stark" (allmusic.com) "Underrated song. I heard it first time about 20 years ago when i was a young man and depressed at the time. I had sunk down a hole and didnt even know it. I thought it was normal to be this way, though many thoughts was negative. I was living in a big city where i didnt know anyone, so i could relate to being alone and having no one to talk to." (internetsurfer777 on YouTube)
"Nobody cares about me
I ain't even got a friend"
Malcolm Ross: Heroes & Villains
"Most everything else is discordant, ugly, annoying and embarassingly amateurish" (Thomas Miett/amazona.co.uk) "Was sind das für Menschen, die den Songs der Beach Boys verfallen sind?" (Konrad Heidkamp) "wohl doch ein bisschen von sentimental/nostalgischen Gefühlen überwältigt, ist ja auch absolut menschlich...:)" (Dino-Canarias/hitparade.ch)
"Stand or fall I know there 
Shall be peace in the valley BRUSSELS, Jette, Av Jean Joseph Crocq
And it's all an affair
Of my life"
Glasvegas: Ice Cream Van
"verliert man sich hier prompt in der Melancholie der dunkelgrauen Lieder" (Thomas Pilgrim/plattentests.de) "Ein Wunder, dass Wehmut so heftig klingen kann" (Thomas Winkler) "eine Band die man entweder liebt oder hasst" (Susi Ondrusova/ORF)
"Who keep us breaking each others hearts
And keeping us apart, keeping us apart"
Cat Stevens: Lillywhite
"this record was recorded effectively as a last will and testament. Every song Cat wrote in his hospital bed across 1969 could have been his last." (alansalbumarchives.blogspot.com) "Was gut ist gut!" (2307/forum.rollingstone.de) "nötig um die Entwicklung von Cat Stevens auf der einen Seite zu sehen und die große Bandbreite an Musik auf der anderen Seite zu erleben." (masteryoda/amazon.de)
"I never knew her name
But she'll be passing my way sometime again"
Choir of King's College: Once in royal David's city
"Alexander’s third stanza was more concerned with supporting Victorian child-rearing principles—children as submissive and “seen, but not heard”" (umcdiscipkleship.org) "Cecil Frances is one of my song-writing heroes!She was deeply troubled by the shallowness of the songs the children were singing in the Sunday Schools" (Keith Getty/The Baptist Messenger) "A world record attempt for people called David, singing the carol Once in Royal David's City, is to be made in Aberdeen." (BBC)
"And He feeleth for our sadness,
And He shareth in our gladness"
Hellsongs: Rock the Night
"Ob das die Headbanger-Fraktion lustig finden wird? (peb/nordische-musik.de) "weil das Arrangement nicht das Pathos, sondern die Melancholie verstärkt" (Christian Kortmann) "transformed it into a lullaby, rocking the night very gently to sleep" (Hellsongs/booklet)
"But theres not enough reason,
For me to go insane"
Abdullah Ibrahim: Siya Hamba Namhlanje
"As a descendant of conductors and passengers on the Underground Railroad, I feel this song in my body without know the language it is sung in. "We are leaving today!"" (Louis
Alemayehu on YouTube) "his extraordinarily deep feeling of the common roots of all aspects of human nature (Lars Rasmussen/booklet) "feel free to skip it as there’s only one rare-ish track" (Christopher Porter/Jazztimes)
Franz Josef Degenhardt: Treiben, Gleiten, Treiben
"Schon einmal, viele Jahre vorher, hatte man sich aufgrund der Ballade Treibenhm, Gleiten, Treiben ...Sorgen um seine Gesundheit gemacht." (m-reichelt.de) "dieser leise, gebrochene, altersweise Gesaang" (Martin Ahrends) "Mit dieser Stimme, die oft wie zuschauend, sich selbst beim Singen beobachtend klingt. Distanz eines Melancholikers, der nicht verzweifeln will, weil er dafür zu viel weiß." (Manfred Maurenbrecher)
"Das ist der Traum, geträumt einst im Mai
den man im Sommer vergessen hat"
Electric Light Orchestra: When Time stood still
"Irgentwie düster, melancholisch & traurig" (Dietmar1968/hitparade.ch) "This song delivers a double punch in the heart and the gut, and makes me shiver and weep" (lhp on YouTube) "In a message to fans, Jeff Lynne said ‘it’s with deep regret and sadness that I have to cancel my upcoming October UK tour, but due to the ongoing and unprecedented situation the live shows cannot go ahead as planned" (thessehydro.com)
"Thought time had stopped there was no more
Been a lonely world
Such a lonely world"
Sade: Why can't we live together
"She's still beautiful at 61..." (G on YouTube) "Mischung aus schwülem Fifties-Jazz und schwerblütigem Mid-Tempo-Soul" (Kurt Koelsch) ""die Cover-Version ... ist dagegen schwach" (Herbert Grönemeyer)
"just a little peace"
