The first time I heard this song was on a Dionne album. It's a great track. I have to admit...I....prefer this version. Just!

Thanks, this is the first time I've heard Dionne's version, it's very different to Dusty's. I love it! I love both of them. But I love Dusty's more too

Carole,
You did say serious competition and it is. Dionne's version is of course a perfect studio recording. Dionne is great on this. The musical backing including the backing vocals are so good. It was the drums that made me do it!

The Drums have a 'Fever' flavour don't ya think?
Kind of understated.

Yes, indeed. The drum sound is so loud it reminds me of The Muppets when they did 'Fever' with Rita Moreno! Do you remember this?

This thread is going way off topic from You Can Have Him to A Song For You so let's get back on track.
Dusty's version was great considering she did it LIVE.
Dionne's version in my opinion was one of the best soul records she ever made and was such a departure from her usual ballad style. I bought the original single which had several false endings only for the drums to come back and start it all over again, many years later I was very disappointed that the cd version was edited and nowhere near as long as the single.
However Miss Warwick hates this record, it was recorded in the UK and she complained that the could not get the sound she wanted - so why not do it again in an American studio I wonder? Anyway I think it's one of Dionne's best, I loved it when she got Soulful, infact she had an album called just that and it's great. |
