これは、七月ちゃんが歌ってるね。
この押し出しの強いベルベットボイスは、得がたい財産だなぁ・・・とつくづく思う。
最初のワンフレーズだけで、もの凄い力でグイって引っ張られるような感じがする。
端々に、やっぱ姉妹だなぁと思わすところもあるけど、
Tsugume.ちゃんの透き通るようなシルキーボイスとは対極をなす感じだ。
両方、たまらなく良いので、困っちゃうね。
この曲は、ネットにも、アマゾンにも音源は無いんだけど、
iTuneStoreで、試聴できるので、
まだ聞いてない人は、是非聞いてみてください。
たちまち虜になること請け合いです。

Pretend Lyrics
Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got
Could be a lot if you pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she'll be there
You'll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

Nat King Cole やシナトラが歌うと、ほかのものは聞く必要がないって感じで、書くこと何にもないよね。
とにかく教養という点では、Natalie Coleが、体に染み込むまで聞きましょう。
