Geoff 1,319 Posted January 30, 2006 The 3 versions listed are all great imo, but have gone for Dionne's for sentimental reasons. A particular moment in my life when it came out. When I hear it I still get tears in my eyes. Sentimental old fool. How many other versions of this great song are there? I can think of Willie Tee, Nancy Wilson, but I know there are others. Help please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craig W 48 Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) When you go through a day And the things that people say They make you feel so small They make you feel that Your heart will just never stop aching And when you just can't accept the abuse you are taking Darlin' reach out for me Don't you worry, I'll see you through You just have to reach out for me I'll be there and I'll comfort you Oh yes, I will Comfort you and love you Oh how I'm gonna love you When good friends prove untrue And the things they do to you They make you feel so bad They make you feel that You haven't a reason for living So when you feel you Could throw in the towel and just give in Darlin' reach out for me Don't you worry, I'll see you through You just have to reach out for me I'll be there and I'll comfort you Oh yes, I will Comfort you and love you Oh how I'm gonna love you Edited January 30, 2006 by CRAIG W Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul 1,716 Posted January 30, 2006 ...How many other versions of this great song are there? There are other soul versions by Universal Mind, Jerry Butler, Michael Henderson, Nancy Wilson and Lynn Collins. ...and numerous pop versions (which I haven't heard) including Olivia Newton-John. Ask Pete Smith about that one. Paul Mooney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
