LYRICS:

WELL, HELLO THERE

GOOD OLD FRIEND

OF MINE,

YOU`VE BEEN REACHING

FOR YOURSELF

FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.

THERE`S SO MUCH TO SAY,

NO NEED TO EXPLAIN,

JUST AN OPEN DOOR

FOR YOU

TO COME IN FROM THE RAIN.

IT`S A LONG ROAD

WHEN YOU`RE ON YOUR OWN,

AND A MAN LIKE YOU

WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE

THE LONG WAY HOME.

THERE`S NO RIGHT OR WRONG,

I`M NOT HERE TO BLAME.

I JUST WANT TO BE THE ONE

TO KEEP YOU FROM THE RAIN,

FROM THE RAIN.

AND IT LOOKS

LIKE SUNNY SKIES.

NOW THAT I KNOW

YOU`RE ALL RIGHT.

TIME HAS LEFT US

OLDER AND WISER,

I KNOW I AM.

(Instrumental) -

AND IT`S GOOD TO KNOW

MY BEST FRIEND

HAS COME HOME AGAIN.

AND `CAUSE I THINK OF US

LIKE AN OLD CLICHE,

BUT IT DOESN`T MATTER

`CAUSE I LOVE YOU ANYWAY;

COME IN FROM THE RAIN.

COME IN FROM THE RAIN.

COME IN FROM THE RAIN.

A great critique, excellent! It's nice for a change for someone to give the plus for different artists, and no putting down one artist over another. This shows that you, like me, can very much enjoy the different qualities that different artists bring to great songs. I very much enjoy this song, and both Shirley Bassey and Diana Ross are favorite singers of mine. They always have been, and I personally like what each singer brings to the table. Always have!

I love Shirley’s version, but adore Diana’s version for its simply beautiful.Yet, they are very different. Shirley does move from a softer to a more dramatic effect, but she always has that traditional sound in a very classic way.Diana’s version has power, but it may be more unassuming for she is singing in a much highr key in full-voice, whereas this is a much lower key & would have a full-bodied sound. Diana glides through the notes in an upper key with such clarity, which is not an easy task.

ATTENTION: Dame Shirley Bassey will be appearing at the 2013 Academy Awards Show In Hollywood on February 24th. She will perform for the 50th James Bond anniversary celebration! Wonderful News! Bassey is herself celebrating 60 (Diamond) years in Show Business, starting back in 1953.

I am biased to DSB, I can admit that. Diana Ross has such a lacking in power (which isn't always needed of course) whereas Shirley is able to go between a gentle power to a slow tremble of emotion, as like shown in this song. I do however concede this 'on location' isn't any justice to the EMI Collectin version which is so much more clean.

I know of Ross' studio recording that you are referring to. Beautiful! One thing for sure, Diana Ross has always brought on board the best arrangers money can buy who are able to arrange songs which best suites her vocal abilities. And, it works!
