  2. Mike the Knife says Always loved Bryan Ferry's interpretation with Roxy - second only to Lennon's own, but that Raul Midon & India Arie take is sweet - and Smith's is just heartbreaking, considering his fate.

  4. Jonh Ingham says 100 cover versions you say?! I still think John's version is the best because he sings with such conviction. Everyone else sings like they love the words but haven't the pain to live inside them.
