    I like this way more than the original, you added a layer of depth to the lyrics. Top shelf male version of this old pop tune. She was very famous while I was a teenager. I chose this one because I was curious about how you would have improved the song by removing the "superficial juvenile feel" and by giving to the lyrics a more mature, wiser perspective. Bravo!🙂

    Lately, I didn't have the chance to be on the communities and to listen to a lot of YT friends, Del. Although I have to say that your music, your covers and your voice is amongst the ones I missed the most. It's always great to listen to your covers and your originals. Even when it's the first time I hear a tune, well if you are singing it feels like I've known my entire life. Summa cum laude my friend, bravo! Claudio
