Yes, I'm obssessed with YouTube
How come I never knew this existed? George Michael and Mary J. Blige's cover of "As". One of the best, most beautiful songs ever (bad recording of Stevie Wonder's awesome original here).
Back when I was doing wedding videos for a part-time living, I did one where they used that song (the Stevie Wonder version) for the groom/mother dance, and it freaking made me cry. It was so unusual (people usually used "Wind Beneath My Wings" or some Kenny Rogers song or some generic, DJ-suggested crap) (no offense, Bette Midler) and so beautiful and I still think of it every time I hear it.
And heck, here is Mary J. Blige's fairly heartwrenching cover (okay, cover featuring U2) of U2's "One," another one of the best songs ever written.
