Well, since you said June & July, I'm going to include one for each since I can't pick just one :).
June: Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Santa Esmeralda (a cover of the song by the marvelous Nina Simone). Love his vocals and the band just playing their hearts out. I like this energetic take on the song compared to the more slow, sad, and somber original. Of the many, many covers, this is probably my favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu9QH71YKQw

July: Raphael Saadiq and Rob Bacon doing a NPR Music Tiny Desk concert. I cannot tell you how many times I have started my workday with this video. Watching these two guys play guitar and sing is just a pure treat. Especially considering how long their music careers span and how little people talk about them. Raphael just has amazing vocal chops and an aura about him that pulls you in.

jaydunndidditI'm happy to know new tracks and new artists. In my post, however, I was interested to know also the stuff used to hear the preferred Track. Anyway, i loved too much the original version of Nina Simone " Let Me Be Misunderstood " and also the other different version that Nina Simone performed during the time to appreciate this bolero version.

RocfortGear used are my Focal Elex and Shure 846 (at work) paired with my MCTH and iFi iDSD BL. I usually listen via Tidal or with my own ripped FLACs. For these artists, it was the latter as I've owned their music for years on CD.
And I can somewhat see your point on Nina. I love her version as well but a cover is just the purest form of flattery for an artists. Especially considering the song has been covered over 20 times. Wild as everyone always wants to attribute the song to The Animals not giving Nina the credit she deserves.
