"A CASE OF U" APPRECIATION THREAD

I WAS WONDERING WHAT U GUYS ON HERE THINK OF THIS SONG,CAUSE MAN I HEARD THIS SONG ON ONE OF HIS CONCERT TAPES AND GOD ITS A BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!.....THE ONLY BUMMER WAS THAT IT WAS 2 SHORT,WHY HE NEVER RELEASED IT ON ONE OF HIS MAIN ALBUMS IS CRAZY....WHAT DO U GUYS THINK OF HIS SONG?...WHERE CAN I GET IT ON CD?....HELP OUT A BROTHA!!

You know it's not only on the One Night Alone cd but also it's a cover of a song by Joni Mitchell from the 70's right? Reguardless,it's a beautiful song!

It's on the ONE NITE ALONE Cd, also known as the piano Cd...not currently circulating, it was given as a bonus to the ONE NIGHT ALONE...LIVE multi CD pack to members of his club.

You'll appreciate it more if you ever listen to Joni Mitchell's version...

WHAT, someone had to say it...

But, give credit where it's due, she wrote a splendid song.

I love the One Nite Alone... version

And the 1 on the 1st Avenue show is 2

OOOOHHH MAN,I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS A JONI MITCHELL CLASSIC!!!.....THANX SOOO MUCH GUYS...U GUYS ROCK!!

it is a beautiful song....i do like the version from the one night alone c'd

If you're inclined to seek out the Joni Mitchell version, I suggest hunting down the live version from her Miles of Aisles CD. I like that version of "A Case of You" much more than the version on Blue

Miles of Aisles was the first Joni CD I ever bought (just from wondering who that Joni person was that Prince used to rave about in interviews), and it made a fan out of me.

both his covers are cool, the newer one he did for the one night alone cd
and the live shows and also the one he did live in 1983 (that was an even
better version).

the only complaint i have about his cover is that he only does one verse,
and not even the first one, lol.

still a nice cover though.

Beautiful song, adn the way he sings it just makes me melt. Especially the first Ave. version!

Sheer perfection.Love it.

Probably because (at least when he first did it in 1983) it would have made no sense for him to sing about drawing a map of Canada with someone's face in it.

well, he was dating mani at the time, or even married to her at that stage
and she's from canada isn't she?

Not in 1983, he wasn't (she was probably about 5 years old then). He had the song pretty well established by the time she came on the scene.

And anyway...it still wouldn't make sense. I mean...how many Americans have enough geographical savvy to draw a map of Canada?
