I love this version
-
@vootie99 I completely agree. Although I love the Janis version, there will never another version like this one. It is the first version I ever heard, and it is when I fell in love with the song. Love this version the most.
-
The La la la at the end is worth a hundred Cohen wonderful lyrics.
-
I like this cover, because it's done in the way Kris wrote the song, but no-one's ever done it with these feelings and emotions as good as Kris himself...
-
I love Gordon Lightfoot and this is a great cover. However, no one can do it better than the man himself ... Kris!
-
@pinchold Hear hear! I don't know if she recorded it whilst she was shacked up with Kris, but it must have broken his heart.
-
@shakeypitt It would appear that Lightfoot didn't like the piano track! That's probably why I can't find it any more.
-
@shakeypitt I dont know when that exactly was but the source is an article on gordon lightfoot which was not on the internet there are a lot of mistatements of fact on the internet
-

This is my favorite version... and I heard it before Janis Joplin re-invented the song... I love Janis but I prefer this version by 1000x... the pain & regret of the lyrics seems so much stronger in this understated vocal...
