@@crat82 Dusty was known as the white girl soul singer and rightly so. I bought the original Vanilla Fudge vinyl album in London back in the 60s and instantly loved every track with its unique sonic delivery - it's on my personal classic albums of all time list still. However, Dusty's truly soulful rendition of this classic song is so outstanding that if I have to choose in this instance she wins by quite a wide margin. btw I grew up living less than a mile away from where she lived for a while in Ealing, London. I was a young teenager at the time when she was in her twenties. Sadly being a few years younger I never saw or met her. As a young girl she worked for a while in a record, musical instrument and radio/tv shop in Ealing's main shopping area in the record department before her singing career got going.
An obsessive-compulsant's dream. Done by a group who loves to live in our head. I find this song popping up in my head at least once a year....just beautiful.
50 years ago I found this single in a local store. Never saw anything else by VF. Record eventually lost and slowly forgotten. Glad to find it again . Welcome back.
heard this song for the first time some 40 years ago, one of those songs that stay in your mind... ever so reverberating... am so happy to have found it here... cheers!!
This was actually the first version of this song I ever heard. Back in '69 it was on sale through record Club of America, and I purchased it blindly. Being the true rocker that I am, although I still love the song and consider to be the greatest lyrics I've ever heard in a song, all the 'lightweight' versions leave me wanting this rendition.
Hi, This is a song that was done by a bunch 5star Pop Stars but the Vanilla Fudge are the only Rockers that took it on and no ones version sounds correct after you listen to this. And you are correct......the Lyrics are unbelievable.
@@FletcherScarborough I describe the lyrics like this. It takes the most mundane, tangible everyday items and experiences, and comingles them with the wildest extremes of existential thought. Now I'm furious, so I'm going to go in a completely different direction. About a year ago, I added the Vanilla Fudge version to the "Other Versions" section of Wikipedia. That is a standard section in their format when it comes to song. They show the Noel Harrison, Dusty Springfield, and Jose Feliciano chart versions. Then other versions, as far as any significance goes , I'll give the whole thing. Johnny Mathis! I often say, "Not if I was in the meeting." "Staci, what's your beef"" Neil Diamond, Barbara Streisand, The Ray Conniff Singers, Petula Clark, Andy Williams, (I just ripped the F11 key off my computer, I put in my pantry with my Caps Lock) well I'm pretty sure of those, but thanx to the omission of what's probably the single MOST significant aspect of this song... GONZO. Oh well!
This is the first time ive ever heard this and i just gotta say its gotta be one of the most powerfull songs ive ever heard! On my personal TOP 20 songs of all time now baby!!
I got to see Vanilla Fudge at at small theater in Lincolnshire, IL, 2012. They played the whole first album note for note, Shotgun, Break Song and You Can't Do That. At the end Mark stein was coming from the can to sign autographs. I asked him if he recored this tune in one take. He looked at me and in a very soft voice, said little bits and drabs.
This is a great song to get stoned to as I did a long time ago. Great vocals and drums and cymbals and organ and bass and guitar the whole song is great!!
Bloody Nora!!As we northeners are apt to say.I never thought I would come face to fe ce wir+th Vanilla Fudge...they were always wrapped in written words on a dreary page about Pschedelia...I thanhk the person who uploaded this gem.....we dididnt go to uni per chance together??????
Thanks for sharing ... been looking for this clip for years .... first listened to it when I was still in elementary school ...great vocal, great musical arrangement.... Missing the final 10 seconds or so.... what happened?
I'm sorry, please don't get mad. Here is one of the most corniest songs in the world and the history there of......done by Vanilla Fudge. Never heard this one before.
best version of this song, forget about the others, and RIP Michel Legrand
For me it is toooo slow. Ar 1.25 looks better ) For me Dusty Springfield's is the best
But Dusty did not have the titanic rhythm section T.Bogert-C.Appice who brought this chanson into something more prog.
and in the meantime Tim Bogert passed away.@grooverunner
This is the only version that captures the emotion of these amazing lyrics

Mind-blowing version, the best ever

My older brother gave me their RENAISSANCE LP in about 1970....just listening to it made you feel stoned....ha ha
When poetry and music are blended to perfection...

"Les moulins de mon coeur" de Michel Legrand. Fantastic version!
I have heard many different versions of this song. But none come close to this. This is perfection.
that's because they don't get trapped in the meter like most versions. they follow the emotion of the lyrics. and the ending is just brilliant.
great song! awesome vocal work.

These guys were unlimited amazing!
masters of music ahead of their time...
I broke out my "Rock & Roll" Lp the other night to listen to this. It still blows me away.
Wonderful 🇬🇧 '23

Thank-you for putting this up. One of my favorite 60s heavy bands.

Dusty Springfield "owns" this song!
excelente

:)xxx
VF can really make anything sound great... this song is pathetic when performed by anyone else.
They were really into LSD and weird shit.
This reminds me of William Shatner trying to sing "Hey Mister Tambourine Man". sorry.
hahahahahaha
Terrible they ruined it
