You are right on William. She is grand. I don't have that many of her albums. She has so darn many. That often puts me off from buying them. And they differ so. I have 3 that are so great but then I have two others that I don't care for at all. Haven't heard her version of 'harsh mistress' but going to have to find it. I can imagine how well she must do it. Whitney's version is good but Linda's is better. I do hate the fact that > Whitney made it into such a BIG hit. Well, to put it bluntly. Whitney just sucks. I can't stand to listen to her. . The song "Long, Long Time" is on Silk Purse and this one is > CLASSIC Linda. Kakki alluded to the Stone Poneys. I have the album Different Drum and 'Long, Long Time' is on it. Was it remade for 'Silk Purse?' That tune cuts to the heart of the matter. For those of us not lucky enough to have found our true love or to not have held onto that love, this song drives deep into the realm of lost love. With the exception of Cher(good singer but > not a great) I find Cher to be a GREAT singer, performer, actress. To me, Cher is great. Unconventional, yes, but when she sings, she sings a song. 'I Saw a Man and He danced with His wife.' aaaaah. you guys are sorry you let me be a part of this forum(Ha Ha). Nah, you are great William.
