Two takes on the same spellbinding song.
My favorite version by Johnny Cash, and the original by Nine Inch Nails with David Bowie.

Try to get this tune out of your head. Featuring Bobby Womack. And better than on the record....

We often post masterful performances or great singers that possess impressive technique and display outstanding mastery.
Sometimes all that is needed is to let the music be.
So here it is...
Close your eyes. If you want to put a face to what you hear, you may watch the video during the Agnus (which is a bonus) afterwards.

Who needs vibrato, inflections and "interpretation"? So many great voices have "sung" this. But this voice sounds just like another pipe in the organ... Wonderful simplicity, isn't it?

Talking of dance routines: this one is often forgotten, when their rumba is better remembered:
