Showing my age but this is quite possibly the best cover of a Janis Ian song I have ever heard.
I simply adore the original but Roberta Flack really captures the melancholy and passion of the original whilst making it her own.
Don't know jack about the video but the song is simply superb.
Quite possibly one of the most beautiful anti-war songs ever written.
Still think Janis Ian is one of the most underrated singer/songwriters of the last
30 years myself.

Here's an acoustic cover of Ice Cream - New Young Pony Club. I think it's pretty good. Not exactly a classic, but good anyway.

Fantastic version, but for a truly dispiriting, life-sapping experience read some on the comments that it attracted.

The breadth of human ignorance can never be truly underestimated.

I realised not so long ago that all the comments on youtube are posted by 10 year olds, or this guy:
