No one will hit you  Matt. Many agree with you, including myself. Eva has a way
of making the songs she sings her own. The sign of a truly great singer. There
are other great versions: Patti LaBelle, Sam Harris, Melissa Manchester,
Maureen McGovern, Babs, to name a few. But the greatest of all, IMHO, will
always remain Judy's. Such innocence, wonder, and pathos at one time has never
been duplicated.
