... you have to dare with this masterful song by Neil Diamond and his way of interpreting it to make a "cover" of it, so I think it is fair to make a hole in this huge version, immense Engelbert Humperdinck
Peter Matthews
Perfection. I love this version of the Neil Diamond classic. What a voice Humperdinck has ❤
