I disagree. This is a classy version, certainly. But it doesn't have the burning passion of the Platters' version, which is what makes that one definitive.
They asked me how I knew My true love was true I of course replied "Something here inside Cannot be denied" They said someday you'll find All who love are blind When your heart's on fire You don't realize Smoke gets in your eyes So I chaffed and I gaily laughed To think they would doubt my love Yet today, my love has flown away I am without my love Now laughing friends deride Tears I cannot hide So I smile and say "When a lovely flame dies, Smoke gets in your eyes."
MAGIC!! also done by another totally class singer[Tony Williams, Platters lead singer] been angered by Amy Winehouse fans, who try to place Her in this August company,there was, and will only ever be one Dinah !! Surely, logic dictates, that if your favourite singer,listens to, and is influenced by another,it's the better singer.So make comparisons??

What a wonderful period, the years 50 and 60! What a sweat memories !
This is probably the best ever version of this classic song with regards to The Platters, also superb. Love it.

Have you heard Hannibal Peterson's version?
Shirley bassey
I disagree
She´s wonderful. Period.
One of my favourite singers of all time.
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
"Something here inside
Cannot be denied"
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You don't realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed and I gaily laughed
To think they would doubt my love
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."
O.M.G simply the best of this world.
I wander, but I always come back. Forever faithful to Dinah.

Emmadale Sent me here
I remember a version/outtake of this where in the beginning she impersonates Billie Holiday. Anyone know where that one is to be found?

Brian Ferry's version is very good.
BELA
Her phrasing and timing doesn't do it for me on this particular performance. Tony Williams is the standard.
