Sorry, Den, it's not bad but I just can't get past the fact that it's a totally horrible song, no matter how well it's sung. If I could have, I'd have voted for Frankie Laine, who does sing it better than anyone else really. I have the same problem with versions of "Danny Boy", and have never understood why so many of our greatest soul acts have felt it necessary to give us their renditions... D'you fancy a pint down here the week after next, if you're around? TONE Edited April 12, 200916 yr by TONY ROUNCE

April 12, 200916 yr The most soulful and intense version I ever heard was by Cissy Houston in a medley of 'He' and 'I Believe' on Commonwealth United (also issued in the UK on major Minor). Absolutely essential.

Absolutely essential. Cheers, I'll look that one up. Awesome voice that Cissy Houston. Got her other release on Major Minor, which is pretty tasty too. :o)
