Most of the time I have the heart of a wizened old cynic, but I tend to melt whenever I listen to her singing this song of hers. (-Particularly this gorgeous original version.)
John Lennon - Imagine (the album)
eta: why isn't I can't remember the interesting stuff re Lennon (- see the Revolution thread) but do remember somebody on a Beatles/Lennon forum, (at least 10 years ago ffs) changing the words of Oh Yoko to 'in the middle of a dump I call your name, oh Yoko come and wipe my arse'

Absolutely ace. The South Africans are brilliant at nicking little bits of something really distinctive and making it thoroughly South African. It also helps that Mandoza lives on the cusp of bubblegum and hip hop.
I had this on my to-get list for ages and finally picked it up a few weeks ago. I wasn't that confident that I'd love but I've got to say its surprised me how good it is.
