A Case of You
In 2000, Joni Mitchell recorded the album Both Sides Now. The album was comprised of some standards and some reworkings of some of Joni's own compositions. Recorded with a full orchestra, arranged by Vince Mendoza, Joni reinvents A Case of You (28 years after the original recording). Her voice deeper, more haunting, more revealing. Reflections of a life lived. Written at 26 and now sung at age 57-- a woman who has seen more love, more sadness, more joy and more heartbreak than the younger composer.

She was the soundtrack to my life as a young woman in 1970s NYC. When I hear what's described as a "great female singer-songwriter" now and compare that to Joni it makes me wince.
Yeah. I also love Joni, but she was not the soundtrack to my life.
I must say, however, Help Me really is a top 10 for me.
