Geez, was wondering when this editor click bait would get some love.... Smile


BTW, didn't notice before, but it appears that the separately released versions by Dwight Wallace and by Kenneth Widge are the same. Don't know anything about those artists and releases anyway, just found surfing on YouTube.

I had suspected that the Wallace and Widge coves were the same; they are both on "Male Superstar" releases. I haven't decided whether to even add the cover, which is why I haven't marked this submission as "processed".


By the by, your submission ultimately led me to discover the band Sugarcane Jane. I was impressed by the YouTube videos I saw, and ordered two of their CDs. So I thank you for this submission.

Nice to get some positive feedback,


I have no objections to closing it out, ignoring the remaining covers. I only originally noted them for completeness.
