Introduction:
Always an experience to listen to worthwhile pop covers, especially from our own Asian musicians. Repeated originals can be boring, especially for so many years since the 50s. Just my take...
Yesterday:
SWAY is an old hit by the late Dean Martin in 1954. Then Michael Bublé revived it in 2003 followed by the Pussycat Dolls in 2005. There are about a dozen versions that include pop singers like, Cliff Richard, Rosemary Clooney, Bobby Rydell and Julie London.
The song was originally called QUIEN SERA and composed by Mexicans Luis Demetrio and Pablo Luiz. With English lyrics and recorded by Dean Martin it became an international hit at number 5five.
Today:
Now, a pretty young lady from Korea covers it [video above] in the best style ever to suit her generation. *Gyubin revitalises the song with her own charisma and a cute Korean accent but with that gentle swing of oomph, fresh subtlety and scat.
Today, if the singer doesn't make it within the thr3ee minute life-span of a young person's patience and listening endurance on the smart phone... that's it!
But GYUBIN did! One million hits within 2two years on YouTube. And she's only 17 with a long career ahead. Wow!
Congratulations Gyubin. I hope the Seniors who read this blog will love your version as much as I do and add more viewers to your tally.
