I remember this being played on the radio sung by Peggy Lee. It had to be one of her last hits to get steady airplay, and made an excellent followup to her mega hit "Is That All There Is?"

"'Well have a kid or maybe we'll rent one. He's got to be straight, we don't want a bent one.'" ... It was a different time, right?

This album would have to be one of my top 20 to have on a desert island. Nilsson and Newman are a hard combination to beat.

Robin French

Ardente Patience

oversung? no way, so delicate. and the piano alone makes it touching and intimate.

Marcus Clements

sorry but Newman's original from 1968 > Nilsson cover. But Nilsson's alright, 8 in 10.

Oh for Krissake guys! Music is always an interpretation - just like painting. There are no rules, and trying to impose your values, or whatever else you call subjectivity, on others in art-forms is ridiculous. It's not a machine. It doesn't have to work or be efficient or look "pretty." It's there to be presented then enjoyed if you like it. If you don't then just say so, and leave it at that.

This version certainly needs to be listened all the way through to be fully appreciated. It's sparse instrumentally, but Nilsson gently pushes you to focus on the story and the emotion tht drives it. The "you and me, you and me, you and me, baby" part gets me every time.

II II~OOO.

Oversung but underorchestrated. Original Newman's version is a lot better.

@naughtyboymessiah I think maybe you had Newman in mind with your orginal comment, and you also have a point there. Sometimes Newman's quirky voice works on a song better than anyone else could do. A lot of people have done versions of "I Think It's Going To Rain Today", and many of those people are much better singers than he is, but the song just doesn't sound right with anyone else singing it.

@gmdinformation you make a very good point. and i do agree. but i would re emphaise that my opinion just that - a personal opinion. i wasn't trying to persuade anyone to change their mind nor stating subjective opinion as objective fact...... but yes i do agree with you. you definitely have a good point.

gmdinformation

@naughtyboymessiah I don't see how it's true even subjectively. I agree that most of the time the original is better with recordings, but I can think of several people who took songs that were mediocre and made them much better with new arrangments. Even the members of Bad Finger admitted that Harry's own version of "Without You" was miles ahead of theirs. As one of them put it, "Harry took our little song and turned it into a movie"! I can think of several lackluster songs Elvis made better.

naughtyboymessiah

@gmdinformation firstly you completely missed the 'subjectly speaking' addage, and secondly i wasn't aware personal opinions needed to be justified.
