Cat Power - I'll Be Seeing You

Thursday, time for a cover.

"I'll Be Seeing You" is a popular song about missing a loved one, with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Irving Kahal. Published in 1938, it was inserted into the Broadway musical "Right This Way", which closed after fifteen performances. The title of the 1944 film "I'll Be Seeing You" was taken from this song at the suggestion of the film's producer, Dore Schary. The song is included in the film's soundtrack.

Billie Holiday's 1944 recording of the song was the final transmission sent by NASA to the Opportunity rover on Mars when its mission ended in February 2019. It was Billie's version that inspired CAT POWER to make a cover of it.

Today's tune "I'll Be Seeing You" is taken from the eleventh studio album "Covers" by the American musician CAT POWER, the stage name of American singer-songwriter Chan Marshall. Her third collection of cover songs, following 2000's "The Covers Record" and 2008's "Jukebox", the album was released worldwide on January 14, 2022, by Domino Recording Company.

A music video for "I'll Be Seeing You" was released on December 14, the same day the song was released as a double A-side single with "Unhate". The album will be supported by a US and European tour beginning in April 2022, see the dates below.
