A little thin sounding here, looks and sounds like the old forty-five. It's the original version though, always beware on the 'Tube of alternate takes and re-recordings.
I'm including this to show that Black singers didn't always put a tear into an otherwise happy song. Jackie, in this case, takes a very positive song and renders it ecstatic. The whole production seems to float up off of the earth. The tempo speeds up, I wonder if they planned that or if it just happened spontaneously.
I try not to make a contest out of anything as important as art, but I honestly think that this is one of the five or ten greatest pop songs in the history of music.
