marie's version is much better than anita bryant's...and i'm not just saying that because anita is a nasty, ignorant bitch.

Just heard that Marie osmond has a Gay daughter and is very supportive of her and of all being given full civil rights.

[hairofthedog2008]

She has a great voice and she looked really sexy on the cover of her greatest hits album.

PS--I know the original would have passed 10,000 awhile ago, but alas it was claimed--oh well.

[lulumariemissypu]

[DerrSaidSoSee]

I was a 19-yr old kid when I saw Marie sing this live on her and Donnie's show. Great memories and still today one of my favorite songs. A poignant song and memory. The words and meaning I've thought of a million times over the course of my life; they are symbolic of most in our lives that have been mere illusions.

[MuscleMikal]

Both are good, but the original, as unpolished as she was, had a raw, energetic "I have to prove myself" quality to it. After all, she had a lot to live up to and a LOT was expected of her. She certainly surpassed my expectations, and that first album still sounds fresh after 35 years.

It should be noted that she's the only Osmond who has been nominated for a Grammy, and she was nominated twice that year-"Best new artist," and "Country Song of the year."

[Nemeses24]

With respect, not entirely accurate. Merrill as a solo has also received 2 Grammy noms, and won 2 People's Choice Awards. Marie rec'd 2 Grammy noms in 1974, & in 1989 received an Academy of Country Music nom for Top Female Vocalist. Another fun fact, The Osmonds and Donny Osmond still hold a music industry world record: the most gold records (11)earned in one year by a recording artist (something not even The Beatles or Michael Jackson has accomplished). They still hold that record today.

[MuscleMikal]

Thanks for correcting me. I was not aware that Merrill had 2 Grammy noms.

I've heard his solo work, and it's really good.

[Nemeses24]

You're welcome, Mikal :) And to be honest, I hadn't even known that until about a couple of months ago when I read it in an article about Merrill, so I was surprised, too. No doubt about it, lots of talent to go around in that family!

[mikeystrafford]

God, i was in love with her when i was 12 and still am. It's the longest i've ever loved anybody - lol. And her voice is just as beautiful. Am i sane? lo, Mikey xx

[wkclax]

Very nice!!

[whiplash567]

i think this version is rele nice. its great how u can hear her sing this song a long time after her original, and she sounds the same!

[drawakangaroo]

Thanks for the song.

[katkrazy3308]

I can hear the difference in Marie's voice on this 1990's version. Marie's voice was starting to mature into the beautiful voice she has today.

[newfoundlandjb35]

pretty much the same, fuck it,s cool

[Holdenon3]

Nevermind. I see it's already up and it's not the Neil Young song. Good tune, though.

[Holdenon3]

Are my eyes deceiving me or did she cover Neil Young's "Like A Hurricane"? Whoa!  Any chance of getting that track up? :D

[szabomommy]

i like this one better its less from her nose and more from the voice. her voice has matured a great deal. good going marie.
