What do you think is the best version? what is your favorite version?


What's interesting about this one is their is no bass in this song. Sounds like the drums are mixed somewhere far in the back, but it adds to the song, gives it a dissonant distant & reflective feeling, couple that with the string arrangement, and it's beautiful.



For some reason, to my ears this sounds like a song that deserves to be in a noir or classic hollywood mystery film score. No background Vocals to be had on this one. Stevie holds it down himself.



The original.



James Brown. Is there anything more to say?

If you like a different version please feel free.

Here is my favorite version of this classic. A house remix of the Jose Feliciano version.
"Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth"

The original by Bobby Hebb makes me emotional, so I'll go with that version.
I've lost the use of my heart, But I'm still alive, Still looking for the life, The endless pool on the other side, It's a wild wild west, I'm doing my best, I'm a soldier of love, Every day and night, I'm soldier of love, All the days of my life.
