She can do no wrong she can move a person like no one else damn powerful woman who should be here. Great arrangements and it's as if she could see into my heart n pull out the blocks n make me humble .
Ru I The original is a good enough song. However, the BoxTops werena very good singers. Haley Reinhart is a superb singer and she has done a very fine version sticking quite closely to the original. Her voice immediately improves it. Eva's version is almost like a different song. Although I admire her voice enormously, and really love some of her songs, I'm not to keen on the direction in which she takes this. Perhaps a few more listens will win me over.
@@justRuwanthi Have you tried her version of Wayfaring Stranger and Wade in the Water? They would probably suit you for running as well. Those two are my favourite Eva songs. Oh, and also Chain of Fools. I mentioned Haley Reinhart's version of The Letter in an earlier post Haley Reinhart . Enjoy your running - and take care of your joints
@@gynack I must have heard all her songs. I've heard all you mentioned. My favourite is Take me to the river. Amazing vocals. I don't know how she sang so effortlessly plus these were all live recordings. Thanks, I think my joint are still young and strong haha
I ain't got time to take a fast train Lonely days are gone I'm coming home My baby wrote me a letter [Bridge] And I don't care how much I gotta spend I gotta get back to my baby again Lonely days are gone I'm coming home My baby wrote me a letter [Chorus] Well he wrote me a letter Said he couldn't live without me no more Ohh listen Mister can you see I gotta get back to my baby once more anyway [Bridge] [Chorus] [Bridge] Sell me a ticket for that airplane I ain't got time to take a fast train Lonely days are gone I'm coming home My baby wrote me a letter
Well, I must admit: this is not my favourite Eva song. But the problem is with the song. Definitely not her. It's the song that's not up to her usual standards, obviously. Of all the versions I've (unfortunately) heard of this song, Eva's version is still the best. As they say, she kicks ass with this one. The important point, I believe, is the way this demonstrates her ability to sing any style and do it better than anyone else attempting the same. Still feel Eva's the best with anything she sings, even with songs like this.
My fav from this unique and wonderful lady. I'd wish SO much i had a change to hear you play. Life is not fair.
Every little thing she does is magic ❤
She can do no wrong she can move a person like no one else damn powerful woman who should be here. Great arrangements and it's as if she could see into my heart n pull out the blocks n make me humble .
The Queen .Eva . Dynamic Beautiful voice*Talent. She was precious *a caring beautiful person🌺🌹🌺❤️🌟🕯️🕊️
One of the first songs I ever sang by the BoxTops
Great Version Eva RIP Angel 👼
I like it as with every one of her songs
Great !!!
What amazing creative genius, took a pop song and gave it this magical arrangement.
Unbelievable ❤❤❤❤❤
Although nobody could touch Alex Chilton on this , Cassidy was a very unique and talented woman who could apparently do anything.
Thank you for this stay safe
Love Eva💕
Can't go wrong with a cover of this.
Mais uma pérola para minha coleção de Eva!
Definitely better than the original or any versions out there.
I'm desperately looking for a karaoke version of this.
@MIINE CHANG haha yess

@@gynack I have listened to this many times. Can you believe I listen to this while I run or jog ? Haha I absolutely love this song.

I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter
[Bridge]
And I don't care how much I gotta spend
I gotta get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter
[Chorus]
Well he wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me no more
Ohh listen Mister can you see
I gotta get back to my baby once more anyway
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Sell me a ticket for that airplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter
maravilhosa

came here because of Leland Sklar. I didi not know about her. You Tube Unblock his video on Eva!!!!
If you take the time to unlike...👀👀
God is unfair
I agree with Glenn Weeks! I don't like this song too much either. Nobody's perfect, but the rest of the repertoire is genius!
this is the only eva song I do not like...
Glenn Weeks this is so much better than anything modern!
I agree w/Glenn.

I agree. It's too much like Cocker. I would have loved to hear her slow it down and make it her own acoustically.
@@phillipallen3468 The song belongs to the Box Tops (great song, I was 16 when it came out), but I enjoyed Eva's rendition.
