I must have heard it if it is the most played record, but I doubt I could sing along like I could the other 9 in the top ten.

I'll have to take a listen.

definitely a classic malicious, clapton covered it, joe cocker, great slow song to dance to way back when, I think joe cocker's version may have become a hit too.

I'm just muddling through all the versions now. Seems Van Morrisons version is the most popular.

AHAHHHh -this song!

To be played at the end of every tacky disco.

I love Procol Harum's version. A real classic. I have six or eight others but not Van Morrison's. I like Van so I will have rectify this omission. :rolleyes:
