missed the point completely. 60's stroll tune, was a different time, Amy wasn't around. Her regard, pretty much...no thanks. Shoulda left it alone, tune does well on it's own.
Winehouse puts too much into this song... sort of like a cook who tries to make a burger out of the finest sirloin and drizzles it with all sorts of crap that deprive it of its true nature. Other than that, she's got a terrific voice...
you people are fucking morons, Amy Winehouse gave this song life. The Teddy Bears, really? I'm glad to know where the song comes from but Amy really perfected the emotion of this song. Forget what you think you know, some songs originals are not the best version. Keep remaking great songs into better ones Amy, haha, like she's listening.
Thanks for this. About ten years ago my wife and I had dinner with Carol Conners, the lead on this song. Very classy woman, and she also wrote the words for the Rocky movie theme.
She is so incredibly average. Phil begged and bullied her to sing it his way. She was a known bitch - even in high school. Phil was right. Don't scream it.. just softly say it. Given this bitche's lack of talent no one would have ever heard this beautiful song without Phil's fortitude.
Is this the person who supposedly shot Lana Clarkson??? who was married to Ronnie Spector??? What happened toHIM???? Personally I think he did it beyond a reasonable doubt!!
good point-- phil spector is showing his Pop metier here, singing "and I do and I do and I do..." and trying desperately to be a doo-wop hair master-- when he made the switch to mega-producer he found his niche
Amy simply shows her heart, and the engineer & producer caught her at it-- and Dany?
Why can't people hear that when amy sings she sounds like she means every single word she is singing. it's not just singing with amy, for those few minutes those lyrics meant everything to her. out of both versions which version has the most emotion coming through? amy's does. why can't some people hear it?
such hate -- sure Amy has her "issues", but you miss the poster's intent [danylicious] .. to create a collage, and whether she had the tools and skill to accomplish the editing seems to be immaterial to how some feel she "butchered" a 50yr old song-- everyone's a critic~!
Good job, Dany, and tell the critics where to put it .. it's your art, not theirs
@danylicious0 After listening to this......Amy sings like the drugged out witch that she was. If you like that style .....execellant for you....but to me this would be like putting crayons on a Rembrant !!!!
1. Amy HAD talent until she became a drug addict and isn't seeking help...2. Before you make comments, learn how to spell..3. Some songs should be left alone..the only ones able to record this song are The Teddy Bears, and the trio of Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly Parton..they put feeling into this song..not up their arms..
@legginsrotos "Issues" or not, the intonation here is hardly impressive. It is not hard to find this sung flat. It is a song about longing, and the cover certainly makes one long for the original.
The original was a beautiful ballad. Amy's version sounds like a jazz improvisation. Some things should just be left alone, and that is all there is to it.
what you guys talking about the second version is better..are you guys on f** crack.
get your asses and ears over to a psychiatrist and hearing specialist cause you guys are on someything that normal people arent on..totally two differnt songs with differnt styles..
ami what a talent what the music world is gone to miss out on
