Body and Soul was considered to be the Black national anthem back in the day.
Bud Powell Trio's rendition of Body and Soul is a top 5 track for me, honestly hypnotizing.
I somehow never heard these renditions and each one is mesmerizing in it's own right. Thanks again for sharing your depth of knowledge with us all.
