Thanks to everyone who sent me this link:
This was live on the Taratata French 4 live music TV show, and I agree that The Bee Gees never sounded so good.

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.

I’m not a Bee Gees fan but I have to agree with you: they never sounded this good.

This is awesome. I was just searching for some Ray LaMontagne on a friend’s recommendation, and I already love Damien Rice. This makes my ears happy.

Wow, fantastic cover – I hadn’t ever thought of those two guys together, but it really worked!

For those who expressed suprised at how good this (or any) Bee Gees song can sound, can I recommend the Janis Joplin version.

You are amazing!!! I heard him sing this song live, but Ray and Damien Rice…my two favorites right now! This made my day. If you like Ray, check out David Ford, he opened for Ray in Seattle. Amos Lee is another that I just can’t get enough of.
