Kol isha alert: Ofra Haza sings "Jerusalem of Gold." Besides its beauty, this version is especially nice, as it gives translation and Hebrew subtitles; so it makes a good learning tool.
What else needs to be said than is stated so clearly and poignantly by the great Naomi Shemer?
יום ירושלים שמח לכולם
When G-d gave out the vocal gifts, He gave an extra portion to the Leviim (Levites), I am told. I would not be surprised to learn that Ofra Haza, a"h, is a descendant of the family of Levi.
