Jackson 5 by a mile but I actually love every version you mentioned and many others I've heard. It's a wonderful song with lyrics anyone can relate too. Timeless.

TheFman	The Communards' version I had the most fun with at the time. But the definitive version is surely Gloria Gaynor.

It's not, is Jackson 5

For sure. Anyone claiming it's Gaynor or anyone else don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

namepeace	J5's is the best, but I love Isaac Hayes' version. Nobody covered a song quite like Isaac. Good night, sweet Prince \| 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016 Props will be withheld until the showing and proving has commenced. -- Aaron McGruder

Yeah I knew there was another version!

To be honest, I really like Gloria's and that would be the debate in my head, if any.

Right? Isaac could’ve been what Aretha & Luther were to covering songs, he reconstructed some of those songs (“Walk On By” like you mentioned). Covering songs didn’t became the forte later, but I still think he’s an underrated arranger.
