Beautiful! Possibly the best female singing voice I've ever heard, and she's loaded with musical talent. She wrote the orchestral arrangements for this and many of her songs.

  Intensely beautiful song, and you're right, the whole album was one of Anita's best. I've read that it's Anita's favorite of her own albums. Why has this not made it to CD?

  I found this after hearing her on the commercial, not sure what to make of her, sounds like a cross between Gwen Stefani and Cyndi Lauper. I know this is much catchier than any song I've heard from this century. I really appreciate that they use real drums in this song, it makes a world of differ...

@sct353 I also just discovered this about a month ago after buying a pile of Conniff LPs at Goodwill. To me this is one of the best songs he's ever recorded, which he also happened to write. It's a shame he didn't do more writing. I'm liking it more and more all the time. Anyway, surely there are...

  I never cared much for Roberta Flack's version of this song, but Conniff's version is outstanding, especially with the touching song "there was a girl" added, which to me is the real highlight here.

I love this song. It's got to be the best slow dance song ever recorded. I also love Anita Kerr's and the Living Strings version. The Living Strings may be better.

Moody Blues - Gimme A Little Somethin'

I love this song. To me it's the Moody Blues best, and maybe the best rock song I have ever heard. There is incredible truth here- "my life is founded on the thoughts that we two are just one". John Lodge's falsetto back up vocals touch the soul.
