It's too bad that for this awesome song, people think of those who have covered it instead of the original artist. ANONYMOUS

I've never even heard the Brenda Lee version. I love the Pet Shop Boys version. Elvis' version is great, and Willie Nelson's version has got a lot of heart. Would it be ok to add the chords to this page, or is that considered non-encylopedic?--Compost 20:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


From a purely musical perspective, the renditions of this song, in descending order:

Michael Buble > Fantasia Barrino > Willie Nelson > Elvis Presley > Pet Shop Boys > everyone else.

[edit] Michael Bublé Version

It's a little subjective to consider Buble's version against the trend of his recording career. He sings a broad range of styles and his latest CD reflects this with a divers range of tracks with big band arrangements. His interpretation of this song is excellent, with a jazz feel but very much in the spirit of the original composition. --Jppigott 04:26, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


I agree with the above comment. The song has been arranged for Bublé as a jazz piece. Perhaps the comment about it "going against his normal jazz repertoire" should be edited. Ltig3 04:43, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Presley alternate version

I've heard two versions of Presley's interpretation - one with a string arrangement, and one with an electric guitar playing the solo. Which is the definitive version? (if there is a definitive version) Drunkenmonkey111 (talk) 01:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
