Lennon & Mccartney Songbook (2018)

The most beautiful rnb & soul songs by Chaka Khan, Ike & Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and many more on one compilation!

"Keely Smith Sings the John Lennon-Paul McCartney Songbook" is an album by the American singer Keely Smith of music written by the songwriting partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The initial Billboard magazine review from November 14, 1964 commented that Smith's "distinct handling of the especially arranged tunes makes her come through with flying colors…Lennon and McCartney will love her for this". The album was successful in the United Kingdom.

This sophomore recording by bass phenom Alexander Claffy features a collection of familiar standards spanning several generations, from the American Songbook tradition to mid-20th century jazz classics to a Beatles favorite. Following his debut album, with its focus on a blend of contemporary soul and hip hop influences, it would be tempting to contrast the two projects as a looking forward/looking back dichotomy. This new album defies such easy categorization, however, with with deeply personal readings that update timeless melodies with an utterly timely approach.
