Great interpretation of this great song by a great artist Laura Lee. I was 17 when I first heard this song and hearing it again today has the same affect on me as it did some 40 years ago. FAN-tastic...

This is the best song ever. Ms. Laura taught all the singers out there how to do it right. She tore this song up and spit it out again! Thanks for posting the long version. I play it all the time!
