Craig W Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 love this song but which is the best version? Each one has their merits but I have to give my vote to the Roy Hamilton version. What do you think? Lou Johnson Lou.mp3 Roy Hamilton Roy.mp3 Dionne Warwick Dionne.mp3
Craig W Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) Trying to make this a poll but its not working for some reason! It is now! Edited January 30, 2006 by CRAIG W
Geoff Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 The 3 versions listed are all great imo, but have gone for Dionne's for sentimental reasons. A particular moment in my life when it came out. When I hear it I still get tears in my eyes. Sentimental old fool. How many other versions of this great song are there? I can think of Willie Tee, Nancy Wilson, but I know there are others. Help please.

Craig W Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) When you go through a day And the things that people say They make you feel so small They make you feel that Your heart will just never stop aching And when you just can't accept the abuse you are taking Darlin' reach out for me Don't you worry, I'll see you through You just have to reach out for me I'll be there and I'll comfort you Oh yes, I will Comfort you and love you Oh how I'm gonna love you When good friends prove untrue And the things they do to you They make you feel so bad They make you feel that You haven't a reason for living So when you feel you Could throw in the towel and just give in Darlin' reach out for me Don't you worry, I'll see you through You just have to reach out for me I'll be there and I'll comfort you Oh yes, I will Comfort you and love you Oh how I'm gonna love you Edited January 30, 2006 by CRAIG W

Mandy Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 All good but Roy Hamilton for me ... the passion in his voice always makes me cry
Simsy Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Yep Roy all the way. That crescendo ending "tell me tell me tell me". Great record, great version.

Guest SteveC Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Without a doubt - for me it's Roy. We walked down the aisle to it last October for our 10th Wed Anniversary blessing. Superb!!!
Bigsoulman Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Dionne great but Lou just scrapes past Roy for me, wonderful emotive record has Bacharach/David class all over it Lenny
Guest Paul Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 ...How many other versions of this great song are there? There are other soul versions by Universal Mind, Jerry Butler, Michael Henderson, Nancy Wilson and Lynn Collins. ...and numerous pop versions (which I haven't heard) including Olivia Newton-John. Ask Pete Smith about that one. Paul Mooney
Guest Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Nancy Wilson,for me everytime......allthough the others are pretty good too!!. You beat me to it by fer the best of the lot HB
