Vocal Performance
Listen up.
You asked for a full cover of Joni Mitchell’s “River” and I’m so happy to oblige. While Joni is an incredible artist (no one can deny that) It was hearing Ben Platt sing this song that really got to me. I had the pleasure of watching him perform this piece not once, but twice, live this year. Once at his very first Hollywood Bowl performance and later on at an event for the Grammy museum. This one is going to stick with me for a long time.
