A song written by Janis Ian but I cannot find that she has recorded it.


I Love You Best


Two covers - Chinese and Japanese


深秋立樓頭 {Shēnqiū lì lóu tóu}

哀しい妖精 {Kanashī yōsei}


There is a suggestion (https://www.musik-news.org/thread/47166/Janis-Ians-quotI-Love-You-Bestquot.html) that Janis Ian recorded it as Candlelight on her Miracle Row album - Candlelight


But my ears are simply not good enough.


Opinions welcome

David, Scousedave I don't hear any resemblance with Candlelight.


In the liner-notes of the album of Saori Minami it says:


Track A1 starts with a telephone conversation between Cynthia (Saori Minami) and Janis Ian from a radio program called "All Night Nippon".

Janis Ian provided original songs for side A.

Side B contains cover songs of Bob Dylan, PP&M, Ian & Sylvia & Joan Baez.

Hi Joop,


Thanks for the feedback and I trust your ears.


But we now have a foreign-language cover being released before the original English-language performance.


Strange but not impossible
