@Sealy57 Finally someone that understands it. I don't know why people like the versions of Bette midler en Neil Diamond so much. They totally rip the meaning out of the song.

everyone has their own taste, i prefer randy newman's. I believe randy said this is one of his favorites.

Burdon did it before Diamond, I had Burdon's album before i heard of Diamond

no woman put more emotion in this song than her, no male more than eric burdon

Leonard Nimoy's is the best.

When did it finally dawn on you about The Nina? I've known it for 50 years!

Come on people they are all different. I like Bette Midlers version more personally but thats only because I like her.

Nina Simone captures the emotional essence of this song. She sings it precisely as Randy Newman had intended it to be sung.
