Just been listening to all the versions of it that I have, there are 3 newly recorded versions of it by Petula her original 1964 version,still the best one, her re-make of a disco style in 1976 and now this one in 2013.
There have been 3 re-makes using Petula's orginal vocal track but to a new sound, Downtown 88,which made the top 10 again, another re-make in 1999 and an Australian re-make in 2003.
The other singers I have with their versions are Frank Sinatra's,(he murders it), Marianne Faithfull,did a fair version.
Sandie Shaw which for me doesn't work with her voice really.
Probably the best one in my view, a long way behind Petula's though is Dolly Parton's a good bash at it to be fair by her.
Finally Emma Bunton, who at least didn't spoil it.
Great song.
Ben you have made my day with this. I think though I have driven my housemates crazy,in fact 2 of them have gone out.
