    One of the most powerful songs ever performed. God, was his vocals pure and his words so moving.

    WOW. I'd never heard of this ancestor until today while a relative was watching a film & I heard this from the bathroom. Amazing. Such a soulful & powerful voice! I can't believe I just missed him. RWTA.

    For such a great song, it's surprising only Richie Havens does it with heart felt soul (that I've been able to find on you tube). Everybody else tries to do it with a "flair" instead of true feeling. I searched for almost 2 hours; lots of beautiful voices but commercialized, even back to the '30s.

      Richie is so amazing that way. When I hear him perform something like this, or his cover of "Here Comes the Sun", so often I start out thinking, "This version sounds kind of rough." And by the end I'm practically in tears from the pure emotion of it.

I don't know what happened to the Paul Williams who used to be sitting down & ripping out those leads: notes 'n chords like throwing lightning bolts to the crowds- but again, what a great organic sound! & sincerely done covers all day long but you wouldn't know it.
