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. Jerry np: This Mortal Coil - Once I Was
