im6,
I have an entire folder of artists singing this song, but I was in a JLL mood. My friend Pete was the one who gave me a look at the music beyond Great Balls of Fire or I probably would have passed on this one. It is a great song!!
Kat and im6, do you also have Iggy in your Autumn Leaves files? He sang it in French. I’m curious whether you like it, – his singing, not his French pronunciation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxiBNBP5SH8

Sure beats the heck out of the Roger Williams version, doesn’t it? Really enjoy it and certainly shows the influence JLL had on Leon Russell.

I’m surprised at how many versions of this song I have, but they’re not all grouped together! This is one of the beauties in my files:

I mean how many versions of Autumn Leaves I have, not this Van song. It just showed up when I did a search of my files.

im6,
This is a great song which I haven’t ever heard of before this.
One day I went through and grouped songs but there weren’t all that many folders when I was done.

Birgit,
I have Nat King Cole and Yves Montand singing it in French.
I don’t care for the start of this song, but I like it when he finally gets down to singing.
