All kinds of music make my maracas shiver with pleasure. My taste is very eclectic: everything from the Arctic Monkeys to ZZ Top, from Balkan Brass to Duke Ellington. These are my favourite songs - not necessarily the original versions, but performed by my favourite singers. So get up off of yo' ass and shake yo' thang to Daphne's choice.

Ain't no sunshine
One of my favourite ballads of all time, whoever is singing it. Bill Withers wrote and first recorded it - his voice is eerily similar to Jose Feliciano who also covered it in a slightly jazzier style.
