Cilla did a great job with this song. However, in the United States, the hit version was by Helen Reddy who really sang her ass off on this song.

@NewWorldAhead Both versions were hits but Cilla's was the original in 1964. Helen Reddy's remake was in 1977.

@NewWorldAhead she was good... but cilla was the best xD

[ScotsmanRex]

does anyone ever write original music or is it all ripped off. Helen Reddy ripped this off of Cilla Black. I Love the Helen Reddy version a-lot but is identical to this version, however Helen Reddy has a higher stronger vocal structure then this the original version.

@NewWorldAhead I remember this version in the 60's. I remember Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield and Jackie DeShannon coming out at the same time.

This is a lovely, lovely song. I remember this, but I had forgotten it! How could that possibly be? Perfectly wonderful - she has a great voice with great range. Thank you for this post.
