[123jsbach]

taking a break from my work.

[Blijd]

Hi, I'm sorry but I can't post No time to lose, because the Youtube team removed it in an early stage, because I violated the rights...sorry.

[buttacudawey]

[Arteria2Morris]

A very talented lady, Barbara Lynn,. Travel with her in the 80s With the Barbara LYNN REVIEW. What an good experience. I thank her until today.A.C.

[Nubeing09]

I like Barbara version much better but I still love Carla as well

[dogcat126]

[cs100443]

c'est vrai quand j'ecoute cette chanson je deviendrais bien malade d'amour une bonne chose !!!!!!!!!!!

[cs100443]

elle est juste trop belle

[VandaVonLeibling]

much and all as I <3 Carla... Barbara simply does it better.. but then Carla was only 17yrs old at the time of the recording... check out "Gee Whiz"

[bubrinha]

great song, very good lyricks

[hassledguy]

Barbara. I love Carla, but.... Barbara nails it and is playing the guitar part too. Haven't seen Barbara in a year or so. She usually played a half dozen or so shows in New Orleans each year until very recently. Let's hope her back is feeling better soon.

[serpentinecreature]

I will never forget the night I sang this song,standing a little too close to my guitar player in the club feature,and his girl friend was watching me from the audience.Almost didn't make it out of the club! Just groovin' though,you know the feeling,lights just right,buzz on,etc. Loving it....thank you for sharing the gold.

[nyimtman]

Check out Freddy Fenders version, excellent steel guitar up front.

[TheBabette471]

[josdegeest]

I like this version

[MrJascnm]

[robinly]

This song is soo good, you can't really mess it up. All covers are nice, because it is inherently a kick-ass song. Unless Glee does a cover for this song, you can't really fuck it up...I hate glee

[jennymeindesigns]

fantastic voice..

[everythingforpromo]

can someone post no time to lose please please

[buttacudawey]

wen r u gonna post."no time to lose"still waiting..lol.

[buttacudawey]

carla thomas..sooooo gud...damnnn..

[mattjonesmattjones]

Whose is better, Carla or Barbara? i've troubled over this many times, and to tell you the truth i can's separate them, both hit the genius spot, i always play them one after another, i don't want to appear unfaithful to either, queens of soul!

[TheSocratease]

Have loved Carla since Gee Whiz. What a great voice, wonderful phrasing and pacing. This is how you sang!.

[nyimtman]

@TheSocratease Check out, Bernadette's Peters version of Gee Whiz, I think you'll like it

[TheSocratease]

@nyimtman This is what i love about Youtube. All the posts of various versions that i now get to enjoy that i missed first time around. thanks to all for the headsup. :-)

[toadotamac]

better than barbara lynn's for sure.

[sladest72]

This is comparin apples to oranges,doesn't make a damn bit of difference,they're both great,now getting technical about,Ms.Lynn's is it,but Carla makes a good case!!!

[elocofunky]

[Nutmeg1038]

Truly the real queen of soul

[ertccty]

The kind of music that truly speaks to me.Love this song.....LA 92.3 kinda stuff ;)

[foj2000yahoocom]

Simply the best! Her sweet voice reaches the depths of the soul.

[frankbank510]

omg!!! i love this song and version..LOVE IT

[castelobrancopaulo]

I didn't get download this marvellow track. I think there is a prohibition, I don't know...

Can anybody else post it again? I wish get it very much. It is a nice rendition. Since now, many thanks. (from Brazil)

[springcolley]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.

[Ifeology]

I believe it's better than Barbara Lynn's. She seems to have more soul and more feeling. She believes what she says. Her voice is magnificent. She's darn good.

[macdelight]

Gloria lynn is the one who kicked ass on this song. nice that we came from an era that saying f** words and such was just not our thing. Gee Whiz is Carla's.

[TonyOnTheRise]

i personally like this version better

[TheBeatholiC]

loooove

[5Lobie41]

thnks for the great tune!!!

[evelyn6868]

fuck allu guys

[imsomelicious04]

I like Carla's version better because it's slower and has more soul to it. But I remember hearing Barbara's version first on Hairspray and that when I fell in love with this song lol

[1URESAM]

@imsomelicious04

listen to aretha's version. anyway nobody can ruin this song. too good.

[funnybunny1333]

barbara lynn then her then aretha sucked on this song

[rudegirl992003]

I like this song...

[elan01]

Like this version but like Barbara's better :)

[DjRiAt]

barbara may do it better than Carla but what about Aretha? Points to Barbara for actually playing the guitar too though :)

[lindamae2410]

CARLA THOMAS is the one true, QUEEN OF SOUL!

Could there be any better!

LOVE YOU, CARLA,

Linda Warn (lindamae2410)

[doowoplvr]

Barbara Lynn's version is much better, not taking anything away from Carla Thomas, but everyone has a different way of approaching a song.

[lovinio]

carla thomas, close your eyes and listen and feel the soul

[dmif3]

Excuse me, it is Barbara Lynn.

[dmif3]

Barbara Lewis did the original. A video of her singing this used to be on Youtube. It may still be here. Barbara also played guitar.

[davesharon5747]

Barbara's is the best!! Wish someone would post the original recording of Gee Whiz. That is my favorite Carla Thomas song.

[MENCADO]

Aretha Franklin did a version, too. I don't even have to say how great that is, do I?

[buckwheat39]

i am not sure but did irma thomas new orleans r&b singer did  it??

[MENCADO]

If Irma Thomas ever did this, I can't find a trace of it. I am glad to see you have mentioned her though. While we're on the subject...Irma Thomas rules!

[Blijd]

I think Barbara's version is better...

[mpmikemp]

I'd say this is a tie = two equal talents and both superb in their own way. Love love carla and uh oh love Barbara too.

[aqualily07]

Okay, Blijd..I Love This Version..Too.

[aqualily07]

I like her version..but I love the original..more.

[Luv7wana17]

Sounds good I like her a bit my uncle does too.anyway later

[riyad1987]

I see where you are coming from Karmu2, though I am a huge fan of both, I'm sure you agree that Booker T and the MGs just set the musicianship of this record that little bit higher, the Memphis Horns on it alone are just pure class, chiefly because imho they are the one of the best horn sections in the history of music!

[Karmu2]

I do agree - the best musician on BArbara's version was Barbara herself on guitar. And Carla Thomas adds a Baby Washington cuteness and appeal which, in Barbara's more menacing version, is missing. I would have to call it a happy (for us listeners) tie - and I'm so happy that both women are alive and still performing!

[Karmu2]

I think Barbara Lynn is better: she wrote this song and recorded it at age 18. Carla Thomas sings it well, but it's basically just a note-for-note copy of Barbara Lynn's version, with no new licks. Still, a good listen.
