You belong to me (Patsy Cline)

This old Jo Stafford song has been given the Patsy Cline treatment and I reckon it’s the best arrangement of “You belong to me” you’ll hear anywhere.

I think we’re alone now acoustic (Tiffany)

Not to be confused with the original uptempo dance style hit for Tiffany way back in the eighties - this acoustic version contains only guitar and nothing else. The mark of a good song is when it can be sung in any style so this goes to prove that “I thing we’re alone now” is a great [...]
