This is one of those songs that never needed a cover version (well except for Talking Heads' amazing cover), but I have to say Annie Lennox did well here. Definitely has the mood of the original.
certainly like this more than most who commented before me but since it has been so long will say her voice is amazing. agree other covers are far superior and this does not showcase her incredible talent
Can we ger another 18 years before we have to hear this again?
I\'m sorry, but the Al Green and Talking Heads versions of this song are just too good to be ruined by this cover 
No one is better than Annie Lennox at covering a classic and stripping it of all emotion and musical relevance thereby creating deadweight. As a prime example, this performance lacks \"truth\".
Small historical point: Al Green did the original. Heads comped him. Still, Tina Weymouth\'s bass line is all time. ;)
One word: muzak.

Ferget the natter nabobs of negativism, that version is Righteous!
wonder what the food tasted like after that. No seconds of this song, thanks.
Rumour has it, Jeff Buckley took himself to the River and dropped himself in the water after hearing this version.
I dont like this version. Who did the other one?

This song reminds me of one of those cheap singing fish. Those things were funny for about 3 seconds.
Well said.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. How could they? This is the scrapings of the barrel version. I must upload the Al Green classic.

Nah, it levels out after a while.

UPLOAD, PLEASE

BTW, I don't think this is a TH-original, but a much older soul-song, (Checks on "Commitments" CD) by Al green & Mabon Hodges, apparently.

Annie has always been too KEWL for words.
Annie Lenox is a notion I\'ll soon forget, given the chance. :roll:
