  • Wonderful. Just listened to it five times in a row!

  • I just love Shelby.

  • Shelby is Spectacular!

  • Awesome voice has Shelby Lynne - what a fantastic talent- God bless her .... thanks for sharing....

  • Shelby is fantastic, makes me feel youg again thanks

  • Dieses Lied sollte nur von Männern gesungen werden Mel Carter Johnny Mathis

    Das klingt bei Frauen einfach nicht.

  • @cardiffbluesgirl It's a matter of taste which you prefer but gotta say..Gloria isn't the singer Shelby is. She doesn't have the strength of voice Shelby OR Mel Carter have. Personally I feel this song works better when sung with a strong voice.

  • Comment removed

  • @cardiffbluesgirl I gathered you do. :)

    I was trying to point out that aside from taste, there are different aspects to singing as well. In an ever so polite fashion, not wishing to offend any Gloria fans, I was also expressing my opinion that technically speaking, Shelby is the better singer. ;)

    But of course ultimately it always comes down to who touches you more emotionally as to what rendition you like best.

  • @reddragonready You are absolutely RIGHT !!!!!!!!! They told ELVIS to go back driving a truck and the rest is MUSIC HISTORY !!!!! How about 32 Number ONE HITS WORLDWIDE and approx. 2 BILLION RECORD SALES !!!! ELVIS definitely touches people.

  • @bootseybuddy Whatthe hell are you talking about? Nobody mentioned Elvis. It's a shame and a mystery why Cardiff removed her comments but the discussion was about Shelby Lynne's singing of this song ( and generally) v. Gloria Estefan. Elvis was not mentioned.

    Personally I agree Elvis touched people AND he happened to be a great singer. The amount of hits and records sold unfortunately often has no correlation to singing

    abilities.:( Or Shelby would be selling 2 billion as well. ;)

  • @reddragonready You're IGNORANT . I agreed with you and you still BITCH !!!! You say nobody mentioned ELVIS , then proceed to AGREE with me that he "touched people ." That's what the HELL I'm talking about !!!! If the # of HITS and RECORDS SOLD has NO correlation to singing , then explain how ELVIS has sold about 2 BILLION records !!!! It's ABSURD to say SHELBY " would have sold 2 BILLION as well." ELVIS is in 4 Music Genre Hall of FAMES - nobody else !!!

  • @bootseybuddy Dear boots, your aggression is incredibly misplaced. I am sorry your English comprehension is not up to my writing ability. :(

    Maybe someone can "translate" what I actually said for you? :Someone who isn't obsessed with Elvis Presley to the point where it seems they perceive criticism where there is compliment. Have a nice day now :)

  • @reddragonready Your aggression," what the HELL am I talking about " was "incredibly misplaced." Truthfully stating ELVIS' accomplishments , which are unsurpassed in the WORLD , and SHELBY's lack thereof, does NOT translate to an "obsession" with ELVIS . We are waitng for your explanation as to why ELVIS has sold approx. 2 BILLION records and SHELBY has sold how many ? I made a FOOL of you twice- wanna make it three times ?

  • @bootseybuddy Oh dear, couldn't get a translater then? Your dragging Elvis into a conversation on two female interpreters of this tune is what that "what the hell" was referring to. I was just wondering why bring up Elvis? Of course I , at that point, did not yet realize am dealing with a person who probably mentions Elvis and his sales numbers when the waitress asks if you want milk in your coffee.

  • @bootseybuddy And sorry to disappoint you Boots but you are not royalty! "we are waiting"? Nobody but you is waiting for that explanation as I gave it already in my initial response. I simply said that these days there is little correlation between singing ability and record sales. And since we are talking these days...pretty sure Elvis wouldn't sell as well if he came into the business now. Not unless he wore a meat dress ( or in his case peanutbutter/banana sandwich dress)

  • @bootseybuddy and dear, again...stating Elvis' accomplishments as a response to a discussion of Shelby Lynne v. Gloria Estefan is as sure a sign of obsession as is your repeating those sales numbers from almost 50 years ago in every comment you post. So far the only one you have made a fool of is yourself I am afraid. :(

    Defending a guy not under discussion. All I expressed was praise when you dragged him into it completely out of the blue. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

  • @bootseybuddy Btw I have not a clue regarding Shelby's sales numbers. This is not what I base my opinion of music on. That was my point regarding sales numbers!

  • @bootseybuddy And on top of all that...there isn't even a video of Elvis covering this song! So...do you want to make a fool of yourself some more? Feel free. I am having a ball playing with you. :)

  • @bootseybuddy Oh, and please stop shouting!

  • Great voice. Don't care much for the hair style, but clip is probably from the 1980s (a musically useless decade, generally speaking).

  • OMG..Shelby rocks this song! She does justice to the classic by Mel Carter..phenomenal job!

  • thanks for posting this rarety ... I wonder how many new fans you have gathered for the uber-talented Shelby!

  • Awesome!

  • Good voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • She should be more popular..Great singer

  • hmm... the U2 song isn't so much a cover of this huh?

  • Shelby's a great lady. Love her Style & her Music :)

  • probably a perfect example of someone who wouldnt go along with the nashville star system and so.... I never heard of her til today.

  • Nashville never liked Shelby..drinks, smokes, cusses and likes the ladies..the voice doesn't matter..same reason they rejected k.d. lang.

  • @jenk264 They also shit-canned KD Lang because she wouldn't eat any meat. In Country that is totally wrong!!

  • LOVE ,LOVE

  • So tragic her life. Her farther killing her mother in the drive way. Right in front of her then shot himself right in front of her while she was trying to run for help and to stop her dad from killing her mom. So sad

  • That is Tom Walsh on Drums and Steve Nathan on Keys.

  • @rpidanick - ...Tom said Rich Ruttenberg is on keys. But the piano player sure looks like Steve.

  • This is the perfect example of why I hated her playing guitar on stage. Look and listen at her. This Lady was and is still magic. The 3 tear note at the end. Damn!!!!!

  • esta es una mami

  • OMFG !!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE'S HANDS DOWN THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY­YYYYY CRAPPPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!

  • oh, like keep on........I would pay to see these people sing this song.

  • Wow. Where has she been. Nice tune, great standard rendition. A keeper.

    Thanks.

  • I recently saw Mel Carter sing this song on a TV PBS Fundraiser and he sounded as great as ever to my amazement. I have to hand it to Shelby it's a fine rendition, with a powerful voice and almost a duplicate of Mel's. They should release a duet I know it would be a top ten hit if not go all the way. What say you out there in You Tube Land!!.

  • Am Anfang etwasmonoton und dumpf, aber sie steigert sich zusehends und dann ist alles gut!

  • where has she been .this is one of the best ...

    best coutry singer ever....like patzy cline

    Rune T-Norway

  • where have you been ?

    this great....

  • This is great! Thank you for sharing this with us. I love Shelby.

  • Gorgeous singer, great job on a favorite song of mine. I listened to it over and over.

  • she, is a pro

  • My name is Shelby LeBlanc :)

  • Wow!!! Great!!!

    It makes 'shivers' go up & down me!!!

    I remember the original & she does a wonderful job!!!

  • damm I saw 8 singers do this song and there all great

  • I like this song and she sings it beautifully. Favourited!

  • She's got a powerful voice, that's for sure. But I prefer Mel Carter's version- and Shirley Bassey's from a female vocalist.

    I can see why she didn't put it to CD. probably good for the crowd- but not necessarily representative of her creative vision or talent so well.

  • Ive been playing this for the past hour...weird u might say but she is just fantastic...if only she sing one of my songs....

  • WOW!!! She does a great job with this favorite song of mine

  • now this is wonderful. Love her voice. I have always thought she was one of the great one's.

  • I am not crazy about her. I actually think her fem. background vocalist is a better singer. Mel Carter's version is still the best.

  • Dear sorenrules, If you don't like her, You will ruin her day, she'll probably quit singing! Tell it to the baker, you get a bun, tell it to me, you get none!

  • This is gorgeous, I love blue-eyed soul. I've favourited it and listened every day.

  • I am 57 and was a long-time lover of Mel Carter's version. I didn't know how Shelby Lynne was, and today I have changed sides: she's REMARKABLE! WOW!!! She's is just so wonderful in this version. Rock, baby!

  • So tired of posting how great I think she is. Just believe it!!!

  • Fantastic, The Girl Is The Real Deal!

  • A great version of a truly great song

  • Anyone know what year this was? That hair, so sprayed!! Sprayed, teased, shaggy, scrappy or bald, Shelby we love you....

  • "anyone know what year"

    Watch the upper left corner of the video in the beginning.

  • Hah, how the hell did I miss that? Thanks.

  • Mid 90s

  • That lady has "IT" and "IT" is beautiful!!

  • This is absolutely the best version of this song by anyone! What a voice. And yes, that's her sister singing back-up. Another great singer. Wow.

  • I believe that's her sis Allison on backups but not completely sure...can't wait to see Shelby again in 2 weeks in Atlanta!!

  • That is not Allison. No resemblance in either looks or voice.

  • It may not be, but I can't be sure. And as far as looks, look again. I know what she looks like. I've known her all my life; went to grade school with her, and college right before this; Allison did a lot of backup for Shelby on tour around this time, and I saw them together a lot; I still see them both quite often, so again, don't tell me it doesn't resemble her lol.

  • Shelby Lynne is awesome and this is a fabulous cover! Great video!  Thanks for posting!

  • Very Nice!!

  • This song is awesome - I love the original but love her version almost more --WOW!!

  • Its weird hearing a singer named Shelby Lynne, seeing at thats me name (Without the E), and Ive always wanted to be a singer :P

  • I love this song by her! Is it on any of her CDS? I couldn't seem to find it anywhere but here!

  • Lol, no its not on any of her CDS! I wish it was though!!

  • Can't wait 'til tomorrow when her CD covering Dusty Springfield songs is released!

  • Great! Shelby does a fabulous job on this. Great rendition!Great to hear Shelby's version of this song. Very good

  • Shelby your great. I wouldn't give it that kind of ending , not in a different key. anyhoo I remember " I Lie Myself to sleep" great song. if any of yu havn

    t heard it listen . it might take a couple tries but then you will

  • She's a true artist. To paraphrase Ray Charles, "She do what she do!" :)

    "I Lie Myself to Sleep" is great too.

  • This woman has an incredible voice, OMG, best female version of this song, brings me to my knees.....Poor Gloria Estefan she did this song,,she can't come remotely close to this woman's singing abilities...

  • There is no one like Shelby she is magic!

  • Shelby, you got me hooked!!! You are so special!

  • Shelby is special. Mel owns the male version, but Shelby is second to none, female wise.

    And, maybe, closing in on Mel.

  • Surprising! Mel Carter owns this song! Shelby does a fabulous job on this. Great rendition!

    To compare you to Mel is an honor!

  • she did a great job covering Mel Carter. She's very impressive.

  • Great to hear Shelby's version of this song. Very good. Thanks.

  • Now that's the Shelby I know and love.

  • Great! Thanks for this.

  • J'aime vraiment beaucoup cette version *__*
