What is with the "_____ can do it better" about? Performers are not competitors, they sing because they are passionate about music, and they are passionate about the song. Not so they can sound better than somebody else.
If you don't like this version, no problem. Listen to a performer you prefer. Simples.
In my book, Jaime Cullum can do wrong. This is another terrific version of a classic song given new life by Jaime. He's so good. He, also, has the perfect stage look and presence here. This is real class.
Having said that, let's face it, there is no-one, and I mean no-one, who can even come close to Jerry Butler's orginal version. It's the ultimate. You don't believe me; just listen to it.
@BookofLove2011 Jerry "The Iceman" Butler's version was excellent. I am glad I saved it into my Real Player file. Save the clips whenever you can. I am pretty sure that these entertainment conglomerates are lurking on youtube looking to remove videos for "copyright infringement" so they can push more Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Britney Spears on us.
JC voice is just not strong enough for this ballard....Scott Walker miles better

Jamie sounds great but hats off to the BBC Concert Orchestra who together with Burt's group of musicians sound awesome together on this number..
