i hate Florence taking over this song.They didn t put any soul in it!!! I heard lots of mixes and versions of this song but the original will always be the best!
This is one of those great songs I always thought was uncoverable. Florence treated it with respect, and did a great job, in my opinion. Yet this will and always be the origonal and best.
lol whats with all the shots of windows and alarms...looks like he about to go on the rob lol, some parts were beautiful though :) like the actor mwah :)
Both versions are really similar. Having heard both just recently I feel like I could interchange them and not miss much. Which means that Flo should've changed more if she was going to make a cover.
Florence doesn't have the voice for this song - lack of subtlety. And lack of soul - as in not believable (interpretation of lyric -it's believable for Staton).
@adrewsona - indeed exactly this impression I have, the cover-version of florence is made only to effect. Her voice has pale. I believe that in future, many discover the quality of the original song by Candi Straton.
Well, i agree this is the BEST version but its not the original, the original is by The Source featuring Candi Station- it doesn't have the drumming and its more 70's even though it came out in the 80's
sorry but i really dont think ppl will discover tat this is a better version coz its not :)
FLORENCE HIT THE CHARTS WIF HER AMAZING VERSION.........so i think its all very clear tat most ppl know florences version is better :).......coz it is :)
seriosly how the hell do pll like this version it absoloutly SHITE bahahahaha
@adrewsona what the fuck are you talking? florence got not the voice for it? hahaha omg xD u kdding me? this song is so fucking earpainly! florence made it to her own and its godly!
@TheFunkyfr3sh Bet you would like Hazel O'Connor ... she would do a 'good' cover version ... in your mind... but you go for the theatrical shit... MBO keep it real
Oh my god, this version is just amazing! The sample is brilliant, the piano, the chord progression, Candi Staton's unbelievably naturally powerful and poignant voice, the pause at 2:02...
Very few times do covers work (Aretha Franklin did a good job with Otis Redding's "Respect," so did Sinead O'Connor with Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U"!) but Flo should've left this classic out of it!
florence version is ok but this is the shit as original versions normally are. Anyway why dont she make her own music and leave this alone in perfection
nope, I completely agree with you. Florence and the Machine has added nothing to this version other than an inability to pronounce 'Through' properly. She makes it sound like one of the Steptoes singing.
hiya nice one well one!!! im a mature student studying fine art!!! also work with asbos!!! i loved it that much i put it on my tagged profile!! lol hope you dont mind...

Candi Staton is the original-artist - she sings from personal experience and their music is a wonderful self-propelling - good Video!
I wish Candi Staton cozy days a marvellous birthday celebration with your family, friends and admirers - continued success!

I regret to have to say -
