It's not a competition, folks. Each singer (any singer that can get it done, that is) brings an aspect of their personality to a song, it's impossible to say who's better because it's all a matter of taste. Every listener will bring something of themselves when they listen and relate to one or the other's version more readily. This is a damn fine version that doesn't take anything away from Jenning's. Both versions are out there, why do we have to choose?
Fair comment. Although I am a dyed in the wool Robbins fan, there are certain songs that I have heard by other singers which I prefer to Marty's, e.g. 'That's Alright' by Elvis and my favorite version of 'Am I That Easy To Forget' is by Jim Reeves. Like you say though, it is all a matter of taste and usually a song by Robbins is superior to other singers who just don't have that golden throat that Marty had.

It seems that no matter what, or whose song Marty sings, his is always the best; as tho it was written for him.
