What are you talking about, Dionne doesn't really belt in this song...... " sweeping nuances" is what a capable singer of Dionne's caliber is able to manifest through her singing, she's actually harmonizing with Burt's instrumentals while Cilla screams over them. You say that Dionne is showing off, how? Cilla is the one singing with all her might and force . Most would agree with me that Cilla sounds awful and just sounds like a cat in a pool of water with all her shrieking.

Please Define " Working class" and how it pertains to this song? Because I do not understand what your getting at. I dont think you've given a sound opinion on Dionne's version but rather a murky response that I cant really figure out. Plus, I dont understand why your getting so defensive instead of answering my questions you seem to boil over.

Its fair if you prefer Cilla's cover more because the way it makes you feel but just remember that Dionne's reading is superior in every

She was the voice of the generation...particularly during the time of her pop hits, so many memories flood my brain of my childhood when I hear her, because her melancholic voice was always in the background like a veil layering timeless and happy memories of growing up and discovery during the 60's.

LOL... They aren't running for President man. They both can kick my ass on any Karaoke Night. G-d Bless them for their amazing renditions.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Dionne, embraced the tune and sentiment perfectly. :)

One of the most distinctive voices of our time. Beautiful rendition of the song.

You are so correct...NO ONE SOUNDS LIKE HER. What a blessing to have had

her here to entertain and inspire us. I have sung professionally and would have loved to have sung with her...She has been my inspiration...as well as many others I'm sure. Don't you wish we had music like this today?! There is nothing but CRAP everywhere you turn. And I agree...Cilla Black's version does not even come close.
