I think I may have overthought this 🙄Tough one, didn't know the tune prior to the poll, not at all keen on the screaming back up vocals on the Douglas Gibson version though I like his vocal, prefer the backing tracks on both the Gibson and Harrison Bros, liked the vocal on the Harrison Bros version but again not the backing singers, overall voted for Luther's version, perfect for me would have been the backing track from either of the first two, the backing singers from Luther's and the main vocal from Douglas Gibson.

Lucky enough to be voting on this absolutely blind. After so many years spent "off-scene" this is the first I've heard any version. In circumstances such as this, I always apply one single criteria, would it have been a floor filler in 72 or 73. Soooooooo.........for me, it has to be The Harrison Brothers, and by a country mile. More "oomph", great bass line, and to my ageing ears, just more "Northern" than the others. All three have good points, all three have their deficiencies. Harrison Brothers has far more of the former, and far fewer of the latter.

Whats the point of these version battles.  It's all personal preference and doesn't achieve anything. 

All three of these records are great!  Why can't I vote for all three?

I have a suspicion that these version battles are meant to bit a bit of lighthearted fun - Keep smiling :wink:

 

All the best,
