"so put your little hand in mine"

Generally "meh" about it, but nothing inspires self-mutilation more than the insipid Chrissy Hynde/UB40 cover of it.

Did you ever see the Rolling Stones and Cathy Magowan miming to this?

I was actually going to mention that earlier but couldn't remember the name of the girl. Brian looked so cute... :-)

It was on "Ready Steady Go", but the prog got slapped by the Musician's Union for miming to a track they hadn't performed on...

Etta James' version is superb. We often spin it at Rock'n'RollSoul - London's home of rock with soul and soul that rocks.

Try the Manfred Mann intstumental in 3/4 time...fantastic!

I can't not call it a classic. But it's another "useless classic"

I much prefer "And the Beat Goes On".

I say "dud." As far as I'm concerned all of Cher's efforts, from "Half Breed" to "Moonstruck," were just tentative preludes to the glory of "Believe," which remains in my top 20 singles of the '90s.

i should like this song, but i don't

it's like phil spector without that satisfying evil buzz in your ear

the other sonny and cher songs seem mostly kitsch to me

i like the celeste or whatever in the choruses

Durrr...I was a bit slow yesterday. What I meant was that MM play it as a frantic jazz waltz; it is bluddy fantastic with these amazing sax solos.

i like the ub40 version :(

― minna (minna), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)
