I'm not a fan of cover songs as a rule... too often the covers slaughter the original but every so often a favourite singer will somehow convince you otherwise...

 

The original, of course....

 

 

And Willie Nelson convinces me that not all covers are bad ones....

 

 

 

EDIT:  Reading more about this song, now I'm not sure who actually covered whom!

 

Brenda Lee took it to #3 on the Adult Contemporary Chart, #41 on Billboard's Hot 100 and #50 on the Country Chart in1969 - it also  reached #11 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary Chart and #38 on the Canadian Pop Chart that same year.

 

HOWEVER ..........Willie had it at #36 on the Country Chart in 1968..

 

So I guess Brenda Lee is actually the one who 'covered' it!  :lol:

 

Here endeth the trivia fact of the day......
