If you've attempted to play the piano by ear or taught a music class in which students were allowed to noodle around on the piano, you've probably heard the oldie, "Heart And Soul." The Cleftones and Jan & Dean had hits with their respective versions.
Livingston Taylor's cover of it deserves airplay. In a voice similar to that of his famous brother, James, Taylor captures the happy-go-lucky feel of the lyrics. The piano accompaniment gives the tune a glossy, jazzy sheen. After listening to it last night, I realized how appropriately heartfelt Taylor's version is.
