I Love this site, but this is a truly awful record! Esp. when compared to other T.M.records.

This guy is lame. It sounds like he has a stick up his ass.

I'm sick of everyone arguing over who's arrangement of this song is the best. If you like this composition, I think one should give a nod to all arrangements. One of the beauties of music is the interpretation of a melody. What Love did was translate this song into what was popular in LA at the time, which meant simplifying. To argue that one arrangement is inferior is like saying Ode to Joy is inferior to the 9th's overture because it uses less notes.

Sorry but I disagree. Arthur Lee gives this song an urgency and tragic desperation that no one can touch..you can literally hear the tears in Lee's voice as he wails it. And Love's arrangement is sheer perfection too, very tribal, earthy sound that really grabs you, unforgettable!

The godawful kermit the frog soundalike that is the bastard Ronan Keating has covered this on album entitled When Ronan Met Burt. Burt are you really that hard up? :(

Horrible, horrible arrangement.

Best version overall - best arrangement- it really gets the quirky modality.

Great Burt Bacharach song, and Tony's is far superior to the versions by Love and Manfred Mann (sorry guys). What label was this released on in the U.S.?
-
Great dance beat, lyrics will pass when you think of it. The guy still has that gal on his mind, she was the best, but she said goodbye and now that he has taken out every girl in town, the one the left him is still the best. Okey, okey situation, if the one you first loved and be replaced, which I believe is usally the case with the pre-married guys. The situation that this guy sings about , reminds me of the song "First Loves Never Dies", and I tend to believe now that i'm older. THX
