Los primeros acordes recuerdan al "Stand by me" de Ben E. King, otros, recuerdan a más canciones conocidas, por lo menos así me lo parece.
Sonó hasta la saciedad hace cuatro años, me gustó entonces, me sigue gustando.

Just the Way You Are
Autor: Billy Joel
Álbum: The Stranger (1977)
DIANA KRALL
Álbum: Live in Paris
Don't go changing,
try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times,
I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone
that I can talk to I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
(¿Stevie Wonder?)

Diana Krall: Ni es tan buena como la gente cree, ni tan mala cómo creen los expertos.
Tierne el mérito de propagar el Jazz, que no es poco...
Me suena habérsela oído al amigo Stevie Wonder.

Creo que has estado acertadísimo es tu apreciación Gato.
La versión de ella me ha recordado a Stevie Wonder, no en esa canción en concreto, sino en el aire.
Barry White, es difícil hacer una mala versión de una buena canción (ha habido casos), gracias Gato.
Mercy, de Duffy, es un soul realmente bueno y la chica tiene un estilo inmejorable. Lástima que ahora no esté haciendo lo mismo, seguramente mal aconsejada, porque lo que la he oído últimamente es para correr un estúpido velo.
¿Diana Krall? Bueeeeno... quizá sería mejor que dejase cantar la canción a Stevie Wonder, que lo hace maravillosamente, o mejor a Billy Joel, que para eso es suya:

Esta es la Billy Joel.
No le seguí la pista a Duffy, me parecía buena, no tengo idea qué hizo después, pues es una pena lo que dices.
No seas malo Juan, que es una versión buena la de Diana Krall, por lo menos a mí me gusta. Gracias por el enlace a la original (que ya la tenía yo en mis favoritos, el mismo vídeo además). Es una de esas canciones que se quedan grabadas en la memoria. Y Stevie Wonder la bordaría, de eso no hay duda.
