Best Version of "To Love Somebody"?

I know this song has been covered by countless artists, but I think the original by the Bee Gees is the best.

love

I also love Janis Joplin's version of the song but i've always wondered how Otis Redding's version of the song would have sounded since it was originally written for him but of course he died before he had a chance to record it unfortunately sad.

I love Janis Joplin's version, but yeah, the original gets my vote as well.

I'm probably biased. smile

Me too. The Bee Gees are my fave group ever so I have a hard time being objective when it comes to them lol.

Technically speaking, her voice may not be the best and I know some people think that all she did was "scream" on her records but I think her voice was very powerful and she sang with so much emotion . I love her voice.
