    While the Hollies version was a huge hit, it was recorded and released AFTER the Evie Sands version, which was a minor hit in the US and chronologically, should lead of this set
    Four great versions of a truly wonderful song. I was 10 years old when the Evie Sands version first hit the charts. I saw the incomparable Linda Ronstadt perform Eagles-flavored version live in the late 1970, and refresh reboot by F&F performed literally in a parking lot is exceptional too. I Can't Let Go is an example of a great song that transcends time.

    Evie Sands has had one of the most misfortune-filled careers of any performer. The test pressing of her debut single "Take Me For A Little While" was STOLEN by a promoter and given to Jackie Ross, who cut and released her own version before Sands's team could recover from the theft. The Ross version became the hit. Then of course the Hollies overshadowed her take on "I Can't Let Go" in 1966. In '67 she switched record labels and was on the verge of a smash with "Angel Of The Morning" but the label went bankrupt after the initial pressing of the single, and Merrilee Rush went Top Ten with her version (the tune of course hit #4 in 1981 with Juice Newton singing).
    Songs Sands composed and recorded in the 1970s have been subsequently covered by everyone from Beck to Barbra Streisand, the Weather Girls to Frankie Valli, Shirley Bassey, Helen Reddy, Dusty Springfield, Dobie Gray and Dionne Warwick. She's still working; her latest album features a song with former members of Translator ("Everywhere That I'm Not") and Belle & Sebastian.
