Not sure if it counts as poetry or spoken word, but I'd say Jazz Funeral is worth checking

I wondered if it's been done. I collect these sort of projects - traditional poems set to music (as opposed to spoken word). I started after buying Nikki Giovanni's album which is stellar. I just got an incredible album RADA did a while ago with Shakespeare readings as well as some songs - Bryan Ferry sings the immortal "Shall I Compare Thee..." It's more traditional pop, the music, not electronic. I realised lately that Propaganda's A Dream Within A Dream is Poe's poem set to music (funny, I assumed it was Shakespeare), but want other examples. ######################################################################## ############# Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
