This one breaks my heart every time I hear it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR0EucGpDTY << I thought no one but Bobby Darin could do this song justice--I was mistaken. Sam Cooke comes damn close but he doesn't have the lean-in pith, the angst, the tortured soul the others do. His is just a plea; the other 2 are expressing raw need. Been there and I'm still there....
^ By AMG, do you mean AllMusic? Sometimes I agree with them and sometimes I definitely do not. I did notice that Laura Nyro only sings on one track and Phil Collins is on the album.
