Kinetic Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 It'd have to be between the Dionne Warwick and the Dusty Springfield, I guess. This song gets to me. I always get a little choked up. Except for during the White Stripes cover. That's a joke.
Smartly Pretty Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 I don't have a problem with the White Stripes cover. I like Isaac Hayes' the best though.
Kinetic Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Posted September 3, 2008 Even better. My favorite Bacharach song and one of my favorites by anyone:
mfn Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 it's a toss up between hayes and the stripes.
Kinetic Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Posted September 4, 2008 You people are nuts. I know the guy just died and all, but his take on that song is seven minutes long. And the White Stripes version is just the Dusty Springfield but with a lot of screaming. Any halfway decent garage band in the country could have done that.
King Kamala Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 Sorry Kinetic my buddy but I like The Hayes version the best and I liked it the best long before he died. There's something about incredibly epic, soulful Bacharach covers that gets to me. His version of "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" is a bit excessive though. Hate to rain on your parade, Kinetic but what do you guys think is the best version of this Tim Hardin classic?
