Can you recommend a simple song with an awesome solo? What makes the solo stand out?

Nana Mouskouri - Plaisir d'amour (1971).

Enjoy 😊

Plaisir d'amour" (“Pleasure of love") is a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (1741–1816); it took its text from a poem by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755–1794), which appears in his novel Célestine.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

Her mesmerising coverage of this song is the most beautiful soul searching version ever. Her voice stirs the heart, the soul with memories of past loves and sorrows, and gives inner peace. She makes the song flows like soft silk….with complete control over those beautiful vocal chords.

The song was covered by the legendary Nana Mouskouri (who had released more than 200 albums in 13 different languages), with an appropriate nickname bestowed……”The Voice”.
