Torn: Lis Sorensen very recognisable as the base for the TR version. Ednaswap The original version by the original writers but only recorded after the LS version. Trine Rein clearly the blueprint for the NI version Natalie Imbruglia Most well known but the 3rd version to be released! Ednaswap A version done much later on & after the NI release. Also my favourite
Maybe in your opinion and in the opinion of whoever decides to agree with you, but what I shared in this chat is still a legitimate contribution to it. We were asked about our favorite cover that is different from the original copy of the song and I love how my late beautiful precious covered the song that I tell about. How other people choose to view what I share in this chat or any other chat here that I choose to give my two pennies in is their own decision.
What is horrendous? The way that my late beautiful precious sings the song or are you referring to my mentioning him again?
God bless you two and his family always!!!

P.S. Wow. When did being consistent in getting the word out about a favorite who is not that well known compared to other singers become such a terrifying thing to do?
The BiB is what people are finding weird, plus the fact last year you had a different precious beauty
Both the above are excellent cover versions. Of the two the Beach Boys' cover (my favourite version) is a lot more faithful to Bobby Freeman's original. Here is Freeman's version:-

Example, Metallica's Master of Puppets.

The Beach Boys' version is about dancing. Bette Midler's sounds like she has something entirely different in mind.
