seargentmajor0809 this song was actually written by Jimmy Cliff in 1969 ....I think hetrodoxly had done his research more than adequately.......Don't make stupid statements without backup...
margaretszuky are you crazy. this song aint by no john lennon and harry nilsson dont fool yourself. take note please: its was written by JIMMY CLIFF a jamaican singer in 1969. this is one of the few mega hits to come out of jamaica. know him jimmy cliff.
o no silly. you need to do some song research. it is written by harry nilsson. look him up. and listed to some of his other songs too. please dont ever make that mistake again.
i really love this song. shes really good she said that "i've been licked washed up for years and i merely survived because of my prise" was her favorite part of all the songs shes was sing you can tell she really rocks that part =]
"i've been licked washed up for years and i merely survived because of my pride" she's gorgeous and she sang the hell out of this song.. actually she sings the hell out of anything that comes out of her mouth!!

I think all versions are great, and of course Cher is amazing, but I will always like the Toni Childs one the best :)

Cher's voice is naturally raspy! The most amazing thing is her belting with such strong vibrato and yet she is so in control... love Cher x

I "LOVE" THIS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL SONG ORIGINALLY WRITTEN BY HARRY NILSSON & JOHN LENNON.
WHEN I SAW JOHN LENNON IN NEW YORK AND IN TORONTO IN THE EARLY 70's, HE SANG THIS SONG.
I WILL "NEVER" FORGET THE UNFORGETTABLE PERFORMANCE OF THAT CONCERT, P E R I O D !!!
WONDERFUL MEMORIES !!!

It was written by Jimmy Cliff, it would by strange for an American (harry nilsson) to base it in England.

I'll SAY!
CHER is the Best Female Vocalist of all time.
She is an unusual contralto and can hit EVERY octave and key and carry the pitch & range like NO ONE's BUSINESS and Transcends All TIME like NO ONE.
EVER.
