This version is from Burt Bacharach himself, taken from the album Hit Maker!. The singer is Tony Middleton.

Frankly, I haven't heard a BAD version of this song. Love's, Manfred Mann's, this guy's... They're all FAB.

Geez...why not sync the album version? Using Tom Jones is just...wrong.

@burgersoft777 I agree wholeheartedly. I utterly admire Burt Bacharach's talent, but the way the Manfred Mann version sails on clouds of strings into the EM7/CM7 on "over you" kind of gives the lie to the torment of the lyrics, sort of "ha ha, just kidding, I'm OK". Love keeps enough of Bacharach's sophistication but the simple arrangement and that discord of singing "you" on E against the Bm and then keeping the tension up with "oh no" dropping to a D against the Am just rips your heart out!

Ground breakin' genius talent......

changing the key is no big deal,it made the song sound stronger.keys often changed on old recordings due to speed modification anyway.compare rush studio to live for exampla

@burgersoft777 and Burt hated it I heard...*S*



Of course it's not the right music, but this clip is worth it just for the sake of the video footage. There's very little out there from 60's era Love. At least there's a tiny bit they missed at the end...lol

@Jimmy61stl - well finally there is a a real arthur lee fan - for these people who can't figure it out , this is the only way to watch this footage - if it had the original music and intro - dick cluck will censor it and take it off - i have had the original taken off 2 times - thank you again Jimmy61stl!
