Kenny Vance's claim to fame is that he was with Jay & the Americans. Seen them perform when he was still a "Newie".

Personally I like both versions. They both bring something to the table.

@kawaim0m0 I guess the loss of the "soul" and the change of the lyrics seem like a rip off to me. Similar to what Pat Boone did to Little Richard. I will grant you that these guys do have decent harmony. :-)

@gingerbread1231 Why all that shame? I also love The Persusasions version much more than this one. But anyway it's a good cover and made many whities to realize about this sog, and subsequently the Persuasions one as well

One of the worst covers ever! They butchered this song they STOLE from The Persuasions. Shame on them!!!

What an beautiful & amazing voice - tenor & falsetto. Enjoy all his concerts & whatever song is playing, is my favorite.  They are all my favorites. Never get tired for hearing him sing via CD or in concert. Thanks for posting.
