Alison is so underrated! She should be a top class platinum selling diva like Celine and Mariah, she's way better IMO because she's got soul which neither Celine or Mariah has.
Oh Ms Moyet, you are gorgeous, I will go to sleep with your voice in my head loveliness, and you are very pretty. Also when I hear your song "I go weak", i go weak.
I don't think she tried to capture Lester's or any other previous version. This is a 1940s song, and so many great singers have covered it that picking your favourite is a matter of personal taste. And sung at such a slow tempo, all versions are going to sound very similar. Lester's is a fine version, but so is Moyet's. I can listen to both, so I don't have to choose between them.
i have listned to and loved her voice for years .....but i love her singing this song...its in my all time top ten...and if isnt in other peoples then they need too listen to this song
I get goosebumps and feel tears coming to my eyes when I hear this song...Alison Moyet is definitely in the Top 5 All Time Favourite Female Vocalists!!!
What a FANTASTIC voice this lady has. So rich and deep. Her delivery of lyrics is spot on every time. Her version of this song is even better than the original. Her best in my opinion.
Great song, not sure the voice is a turn on though. Bit deep for me. Also, she looks like Mick "The Munch" Skinner who played in England's second row in the late 80's. I bet she could pick a Frenchman up and run with him too. Go Mick...
she is amazing, what a voice...one of the best female singers around

She didn't play their game. She never tried to lose weight, or got breast implants to sell records.
She sold enough records and didnt compromise her artistic vision.
She basically took the Kate Bush route instead of the Mariah Carey route.

If you get the chance check out the 50's version by Ketty Lester. That's who Allison Moyet tried to capture here, I think.

thats rubbish they're as different as black and white the tempo is completely different to start with are you tone deaf by any chance

You are so right. Nobody can compete Lester! I think that is a mistake anybody to try it.
GruManu 3 years ago
You're right. Moyet had a big hit with it and sold millions. She must be kicking herself not to have heard these wise words.

This is one of the best songs Alison Moyet has ever done
Ketty Lesters original was great, Elvis version was greater but....Alison Moyet is the best by far.
Well that is my opinion.
