Kinetic 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smartly Pretty 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2008 I don't have a problem with the White Stripes cover. I like Isaac Hayes' the best though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinetic 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2008 Even better. My favorite Bacharach song and one of my favorites by anyone: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinetic 0 Report post 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 0 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
