Any List that doesn't include "Ave Maria" is woefully incomplete *. Here is a soul and a "straight" version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwyBewTE8fA << Instantly recognizable voice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8aeUE89cT8 << Tough choice: his or Andrea Bocelli's
And then there's Jerry Butler's "For Your Precious Love": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8aeUE89cT8 and 50 years later, he hadn't lost a step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC8GCb4LhZ4
Righteous Brothers--"Unchained Melody": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiiyq2xrSI0
Ben E. King--"Stand By Me": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTd2ylacYNU << John Lennon just kills but his is more anguished than pretty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vSWHkxZgOI
A reggae version of an old country hit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG8aWpjyWZ8 and a soul one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul3j4SD8jms and the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nls0zrxx7UY
"When I Fall in Love"--Julie London's version is compelling but there's scads of others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrXnXkDioS0
I could go on--how many days do you have to spare?
* I scaled back my vehemence, trust me.

What are the five best songs ever iyo? - CRAZY-HORSE - 03-06-2015
I couldn't pick 50 tracks let alone 5 But one track that definately wouldn't be there would be Danny Boy.... I don't care who performs it, I hate it with a passion!

I am a South African living in Ireland and there are two types of music I find truly irritating - South African & Irish traditional music. Both of them bore me to tears. Whenever it comes on the radio I just turn it off. Just gives me a headache.
