[lolita3960]

hey this is good, but sorry, bette just does it better. do you see her veins bulge? man that's singing.

[2010Therapy]

Sorry, I love Bette Millers version the best.

[kayfyth]

if you have ever had to beg somebody to stay with you baby...and felt stupid (pathetic mostly) this song is a reassurance that You are not alone..well at least you tried! @24 yrs of age, i can relate..deeply

[DoshUnScripted]

Looks like Bette Midler has been just been kicked off the #1 spot.

THIS IS CLEARLY THE BEST !

[CAPEMUSIK]

Simply amazing! What a voice!!! :)

[SuperBLOOMINGROSE]

Love her voice

[lutheringram]

great song from a great album one of the last of the stax era

[11polkadot1]

I was looking up the Duffy version of this song and came across this...very glad I did! I love this!!

[ILuvMusic4real]

I luv when Bette Midler sung this in the movie The Rose. This is good too.

[MZPCHY]

@ILuvMusic4real yes indeed..omg Rose did her thing. She wuz str8 drugged out red/blues but she sang that piece..screaming & all. Bette Midler sounded better 2 me than she does. I'm a back chyyk luvn that whyt chyck voice.

[kloppy56]

Stunning.

[loving914]

this song is here to stay, It will be ejoyed by generations to generations. It inspires me and many others. Shirley brown is a real diva, is she still alive?

[mandingoinmaine]

Impeccable phrasing + controlled registers + languid aspirations + just a damn good singer = masterpiece!

This isn't mere singing. This is the soul contemplating in sound. 

[janlikesmusic1]

ONE OF MY FAVORITES BY SHIRLEY.

[Messi231069]

Magnifique.....rien d'autre à dire.

[alleneh]

I remember the original of this by Lorraine Ellison in 1966. Powerful!!!

I believe the movie was titled (at least her it was) Pirate Radio, about the pirate rock radio station, Radio Rock broadcasting from the freighter anchored off the British coast. Excellent movie

[missdja1]

One of the best songs by this great singer

[alain59200]

y loved !!!!!

[Womanmad1]

Shirley Brown Shirley Brown she got soul.

[bebbos09]

luv this!!!

[samsika]

wish id wrote this song, how good is it.

[airborne1940]

I heard it in the boat that rocked, good song + film!

[1984alisha]

Her voice is very similar to Mary J. Blige voice

[ricnros]

This is okay but do yourself and check out the original by Lorraine Ellison or the cover by Ten Wheel Drive with Genya Raven

[megahann12]

yes, every single version i've heard is just awesome, it really is just a really well WRITTEN song, and then of course amazing artists make it what it is, but a crap song is still crap even with a wicked singer. so credit to the writers as well ;)

[jennyschofield]

It really does'nt matter who sings this song, they are all good in their own way. The song itself is just so powerful, credit where it's due......It just amazes me.

[poohbear9174]

Love Bette but she ain't no even in the same league as Lorraine Ellison or Shirley Brown and she know it!

[changnfaces]

did BETTY WRIGHT n SHIRLEY BROWN eva sing together, them 2 can set a stage aflame singing the truth of the matter..omgoodness i can so relate

[kered63]

I listened to her singing this on vinyl yesterday. So glad my friend introdued me to her.

[mtix65]

[jagodica0bobica]

[JPfromFlint]

Does anybody know the name of the lady who did this song originally in the late 1960's?

[68Jamaica]

Hi JPfromFlint, The original singer Lorraine Elllison died from Ovarian Cancer in 1985 at 51.

Nuff Luv.

[JPfromFlint]

Thank you 68Jamaica! I had her song on a compilation CD years ago and I lost it and I keep forgetting her name! Her version was beautiful too.

[Dimpledreads]

[davidhazard71]

The quality of the recording is awesome. You rock, thanks for the post. I miss this sound and those days. For me I was really young, but it was a fun time in my life. The kids take this kind of thing for granted , but this stuff is the bomb. Thanks again.
