Bonnie 'Prince' Billy – The World's Greatest

OK so this isn't much of a video, but the music is excellent. It's a cover of a popular R Kelly song about Mohammed Ali and is performed without any hint of irony or sarcasm. In fact, this is a loving cover of what is really a great American song. The R Kelly version lacks authenticity and feeling – and feels custom built for the adverts it adorned.
