What about Donna Summers version?
Nanah; Thanks for that ref. She's obviously a fine singer, but somehow I couldn't come at her jazzy/disco treatment. Richard has the right voice that suits my mood whenever I listen; just the right "gravitas" for me and I hesitate to say this in these enlightened times, but the female voice doesn't capture the essence of the lyrics. Feel free to disagree, as I'm sure you will, but there you go! More of a livewire than me at the moment!
Thanks again!
