There is something strange going on with her voice and the instrumentals. They are not in sync. It is mysterious, crazy, beautiful. Like a dream.

A great version, but it was Sam Cooke not Jackie Wilson.

no,

thanks for replying, but I just found out a few days ago, the one I was thiniking of is by Billy Stewart. He sings pretty good but he's ugly as sin, and the video I found is only so-so. I suspect his physical appearance kept him from being more widely successful.

I wonder if Al Jareau (sp) does a version.
