ONE FINE DAY {Cover} (by Natalie Merchant: One Fine Day movie soundtrack)

SUMMARY:                    RUNNING TIME: 2:44 Min.

This romantically upbeat Chiffons R&B classic dates back to 1963.  The tune was co-written by Carole King.  Natalie Merchant covers this song for the soundtrack for 1996’s same-named comedy, which stars Michelle Pfeiffer & George Clooney.

REVIEW:

Taking a self-reflective approach reminiscent of Norah Jones, Natalie Merchant’s low-key rendition would be ideal for an old school jazz nightclub.  While Merchant’s somber approach is the opposite of The Chiffons’ peppy energy, her take on “One Fine Day” possesses a poignant sound that makes for a wonderful download equal to the original tune.  Well-played!  

BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING:                   8 Stars

Note: The Chiffons’ original version is also on the soundtrack.
