I am an unabashed fan of this movie and song. I still get misty-eyed at the end. Sidney Poitier is fantastic, as is the rest of the cast, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better movie theme song. Truly phenomenal and enduring …

This is probably not a fair fight with Lulu doing partial vocals on one of the covers but as I have to constantly remind my ten-year-old … life is not always fair.

Melky Sedeck:
Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. Only one cover tune will live to play another day and it is your solemn responsibility to decide which one prevails. So tell me … Which Side Are You On?!!?
Also, keep in mind that if you should spontaneously self-actualize while playing a cover then you could – and probably should – nominate it for Top 10 (i.e. “Impeccable”) consideration.
