Great song. I also love Olivia Newton-John's powerful version.

hauntingly beautiful song. First heard it during relationship breakup. Seemed to say it all.

I'm so glad I discovered you on youtube. Not only is your singing beautiful, but so are you and your musicianshiip.

Barbara Dickson (NOT Dickinson!!) has had no formal training. She began her career in folk music, not Broadway. She is an exceptionally gifted singer with near perfect pitch and a strong, pure powerful tone. . Olivia is a nice singer but that's it. I think Olivia's great - but she would never claim to be a great singer. She is perfectly aware of her limitations and works very well within them. She is simply not in the same league as Barbara Dickson. Sorry!

As you say - each to his own - but listening to both again - there is (I feel) just no contest between the beautiful, rounded tone of Dickson's glorious voice to Olivia's very nice but sometimes worryingly thin voice. We will have to agree to differ.



Olivia Newton-John sings this with a stunning vocal finale as the last track of her 1985 cd, 'Soul Kiss'.
Great song.

Olivia's version was the first time I heard this and I thought it was one of the most beautiful songs I'd ever heard. Barbara sings this with such emotion - I never tire of hearing her sing it.
