Sorry, LoveJenni, Denidowi, you both miss the meaning of the song. PS arranged the song as a ballad, it was never intended to be covered this way. RS's voice was hauntingly beautiful, and without all the digital equipment back then, it's amazing she managed to get it all done in the takes. Sometimes people want only what they can't have...is that you?

[ILoveJenni47]

@VinDcator I disagree with everything you just said, but you are entitled to your opinion. :) Regardless of whether it was intended as a ballad, it's better uptempo in my opinion.

[VinDcator]

@ILoveJenni47 My point was that songs, like movies, should not be remade, simply because they can be. This cover is proof of that.

[ILoveJenni47]

@VinDcator Songs should be remade as many times as artists want to remake them, because it is up to each individual listener to decide which version or versions they want to listen to. A variety of versions gives a listener choice and more opportunity for enjoyment. Obviously, some people, including myself, believe that Linda's version is superior to the original, while others agree with your opinion. That's fine. But to say a cover shouldn't exist because you don't like it is a bit unfair.

It's got a very "Phil Spector" sound, this one. Am I right, was it produced by Phil Spector?

[ILoveJenni47]

@Strawberry7Lynn No, but a lot of productions used his ideas back then, so it's definitely directly influenced by his sound.

[VealParmigiana]

Linda Scott was a very good singer, and is underrated today.

[spacepatrolman]

@spacepatrolman and there is somebody blowing in a jug and playing autoharp on that record this song isnt as good as john sebastians songs

[spacepatrolman]

@harvey1954 and the fuzz bass makes it sound sentimental on that lovin spoonful record

@VinDcator A Real rare one on KAPP circa `65. The best thing Linda Scott ever did in my opinion.

[rcentinella]

Luv it! I didn't know this recording of hers! Great!

@Strawberry7Lynn

It's a cover of a Ronettes song, though, written with Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil ("Walking in the Rain").

This is way too fast. Listen t Joe Butler sing this with the Lovin' Spoonful, just the right tempo for the sentiment.
