Covered by Juice Newton, Ruth Brown, Dean Martin, Linda Martin, and Lorrie Morgan, none could compare, in my opinion, to this version by Brenda Lee. Written by Blues player Joe Seneca, the song teeters on the borderline between soul and country, making it a perfect harmonious affair between the two genres. For males, they can swoon over her tonality. And for females like myself, flip on the record, light up a smoke, and singalong as loud as you possibly can.
