B.J. Thomas is one of my favorite vocalists of all time - there was no doubt when my wife and I were asked what song we'd like for our first dance as a married couple. Many of our guests had never heard this song/version before, and it absolutely mesmerized by the time it was through.
best cover of this song bar none! B.J. has the chops and does this song complete justice. If you can, give his version of "Little Green Apples" a listen. In my opinion, best version of that song as well.
@wonderfulhuman161 Yes, the singer is better but the arrangements are the deciding factor that make or break the record. The overall feel of the Herb Alpert version is far superior than this.
Finally someone posted this! Thanks so much!! I hope everyone hears it and discovers the best cover of this song, on the planet. Can't beat BJ's velvet voice.
is this barry manilow's distant cousin??? HaHa BTW, this version gets the definitive seal of approval in my book...

Come ON! I'm a big B.J. Thomas fan, but Herb Alpert's version is the definitive version. Check it out.

WOW he owns this song. His version is the definitive male vocal and Dionne Warwick's the female.

Vocally its better than Herb's but Herb gives it a haunting character that somehow suits the song.

Talk about nailing it. This is obviously the version "that should have been". No disrespect to Mr Alpert- but this is sung by a singer.
