From: keberoxu Well, it has to be said, Roger Knowles, that after her first two albums for Blue Note, Norah Jones's albums have not gotten all that much attention. The last thing I remember hearing from her was a hit single called "Happy Little Pill" ("I'm gonna getcha, I'm gonna getcha . . .") |

From: GUEST,keberoxu And as long as we are saying something about Norah Jones, consider that the album Come Away with Me is twenty years old. NPR considered it, by interviewing Jones herself. Twenty years of Come Away with Me |
