Paul Simon version

In 1995, "Something So Right" was recorded by British singer Annie Lennox for her second solo album, Medusa (1995). Later that year, she re-recorded the track with Paul Simon, who features as an acoustic guitarist on the track and sings a harmony vocal partway through the song. This re-recorded version was released as a single by RCA Records, reaching no. 44 on the UK charts.

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "This Paul Simon song from Lennox' cover album Medusa has the additional vocals and guitar parts of Mr. Simon himself. It starts out as a beautiful, simple ballad, but as the song progresses, gospel influences and more elaborate orchestrations pop up. Another great seasonal single."^[5]
