I liked Gene Pitney and Jackies version except for the fact that Bill Medley put out a fantastic version in the middle 80's that will knock your socks off. Look for it.
Jackie does a nice job with this song but please .... Gene's version will always be the one that all others are measured against ... ie; the definitive version.
Jackie like Gene is one of the greatest blue eyed soul singers from the great musiclal sixties and beyond...both great singers deserved more credit than received...Bravo Jackie...awesome!
Have to say, nobody can beat Cyndi Laupers cover of this, the emotion she conveys is almost unbearable when she sings it; beautiful.

No, Cyndi Laupers version is not awesome. No one can beat the original, Gene Pitney.

I like Jackie, but her version of this song, whilst admirable, pales beside Pitney's

Gene--all the way! No contest--although I love this but-- come on --she doesn't even sing the ending!

I like Jackie...but Gene's version is far better. Her voice lacks the strength to give it the guts & feeling of Pitney's version

@Baskerville22
I agree! Gene Pitney's version is remembered with far more devotion than this version!
There are just certain artists who 'own' the songs they perform... this one was definitely Gene's!!!

@Titan752 gene's is remembered because it's the one the dj's played. never heard jackie's version back then.

It's a tie! Both Jackie and Gene's versions are superb. They each have soul, energy, and emotion. Thanks for posting this.
