Thanks for the info.

I had Brenda Lee listed as the first recording.

I've amended my notes...

I like it, old BJ (great initials) puts some feeling in to that vocal.

I sometimes have the same with these Zippyshare files. Try again but don't let it take you further than the file. Sometimes it automatically tries to link you to something else. Just come out of it.

This is an interesting link.

I'm not a fan of the PSB and even less of this version of the song.

B.J. does a nice version.
The Pet Shop Boys totally lost the song's emotions
