This was recorded about a year before Marvin Gaye’s version and might be be the best one.

bears, have to go with Lucinda Williams, but the composer’s version is pretty good also.

Speaking of composer vs. interpreter, here’s another example.

michael, I have to go with the Janis. She simply took that song and made it hers. I think Kristofferson and Coolidge may be the overall best version of that song, and I think there are over 100 covers.

bridge, I have to go with the Duprees. It was the end of doo-wop and they took it out with style.
