7 great covers: #7 I'll be seeing you

My father and I spent an evening trying to convince my younger brother of 12 years that jazz once was what punk came to be many years later: a combination of new sonic landscapes and a "FUCK YOU" attitude.

Iggy Pop seems to have made that connection. This is his and Francois Hardy's interpretation of jazz classic "I'll be seeing you".




The song was originally written for a musical, but came to a wider audience through Bing Crosby in 1944. It can be downloaded here, but isn't available on YouTube. Instead, I give you Billy Holiday.
