"I heard it through the grapevine" ..by me, sIx.

It is a folk song from Detroit circa mid 60's.

seriously ... So many ... what may be my favourite today, may be eclipsed by something else tomorrow ... but one that stuck in my head all through today is a version of "Yellow Bird" sung by Steve Forbert, just him and an accoustic guitar. Or "Hard Times" as song by Stephen Foster, that's a song I prefer to do ... Tennessee Waltze, Leonard Cohen's version is one that comes to mind right now ... you can go on and on about favourites, but I can't pin down just one.
