Claudine has been playing on Encore ( I think) for the past two months. The movie with that gorgeous soundtrack, has held up for sure.

I only like Gladys' version. It makes me cry because it reminds me of a friend of mine.

I have to be in the Gladys Knight camp. I don't know if it's because that's the version I first heard, but even after listening to the others, it still comes out on top for me!

Same goes for "Mr Welfare Man" (my fave from Claudine) and "To Be Invisible"

I love mostly anything that Gladys sings, but I also feel the same way about Curtis so I can't really pick between them.

there's also Lauryn Hill's version, I love that one to bits too: http://www.youtube.com/wa...eErfwlIgPg
