CLARE TORRY's original sets the benchmark but I saw CAROL KENYON sing it live with ROGER WATERS in his DARKSIDE OF THE MOON tour last month in Sydney [Aust].Although she had some subtle echo-like effects on her voice , it was just bloody magnificent. Spine tingling stuff - a real goosebump moment . A wonderful example of soulful scat vocal over an irrestible piece of music.
Looking still the same after all these years...

I'm not keen on the studio version.Sounds very forced in a sort of 'if I wail a lot and do lots of up and down scales then it must be deep and meaningfull' way .However I do like Sam Browns 'orgasmic' version on Pulse.Embarrassed

It's OK. I used to really like it but I find it a bit embarrassing to listen to now. Probably overplayed it! I'd say it was my least favourite track on DSOTM.

DSOTM's only saving grace in my opinion.

Absolutely my least favourite track on the album, which is by no means my favourite Pink Floyd album, so I voted NO!!!

I quite like it. It came on the radio one night when I was in a kind of semi-awake state. It was very pleasant. I voted "It's okay".
