William Scott - Lovely bird

We have to admit we almost missed out on the wonderful "Lovely bird" by the inimitable William Scott who impresses with his heartfelt rendition of the lyrics. This tremendous release comes with a phenomenal selection of soulful yet incredibly infectious four-to-the-floor interpretations of the song from such illustrious names as Tony Loreto, Mark Di Meo, Geoffrey C, DJ Pope, DJ Carl Vee, The Funklovers and Fabrizio Colasanti, all adding their enticing signature touch to the song, making it near to impossible to pick a favorite version as all of them are outstanding. In simple words: soulful house at its best, essential and timeless. Nuff said.
