So that everybody this song was originally in french !

(and may I say better in french)

[ElbaLu100]

Não desmereço Neil Diamond, ele é maravilhoso, e a música... sem comentários.Tantos grandes gravaram, isto é bom gosto.

[ElbaLu100]

O compositor Jacques Brel considerou a interpretação de Maysa , a melhor. Grandes divas já haviam gravadoi, entre elas, Piaf.

Thanks for sharing this stunning rendition of this amazing song. I heard a version of it by a former friend of mine a couple of years ago that totally blew me away; it included some lyrics from Mr. McKuen that are not a part of this wonderful performance: "I would have been the shadow of your shadow if I thought it might have kept me by your side." I will never forget how it felt to hear my own feelings expressed in another's song, in a voice so real and full of emotion. And then he went away...

The original French version by Jaques Brel is better particularly when sung by NIna Simone

LOVE this song! I was travelling across Canada on a bus about 25 years ago...and played the hell out of this song while travelling! This song is gorgeously sad....and I LOVE it! Neil! NAILED THIS! Thank you Mr. Diamond! And thank you Brando0307 for posting this!!!!! ( "I'll be dying slowly 'till our next hello"...GOD!!!! what a line!!)

[Brando0307]

The original composer and songwriter is the Belgian Artist Jacques Brel, with his version called Ne Me Quitte Pas. ( lit. translation: Don't leave me)

I defy anyone to say that there is a better musical version than this from any other artist...I think the production was Tom Catalano who was an early flag flyer of Neil's talent the others who worked on it could have been Lee Holdridge but I could be wrong

[Brando0307]

Thanks for the compliments.

[yaellavie]
