I didn't know Mina before but her version is actually pretty nice.

I'm listening to Ferry's. I'm not really sure what to do with this.

You would think Ferry would excel at standards but I don't think he's so good at them. His Dylan and Motown covers are the best...he should never do the Stones--whew they're bad.

or "Stax" and Motown

great song. I just listened to some Etta James, so I'll pick her version.

Ferry's version is exceedingly arch, but I do love it; probably THE gateway song for me to appreciating "Great American Songbook"-esque stuff (even though the writers were English.)

Ferry's version is unimpeachable.
