I agree the the Skyliner's version is better; but, I think that this verson ( I could be mistaken) predates theirs, and it, IMHO, is the best of this one!
And then, there are horrible remakes. Grand Funk Railroad made a cover of Little Eva's "Locomotion". But listen closely--they start off accapella; but when the music kicks in, they are a full step off key! YUCK!!!
And now, for the trivia! Really listen to that voice. You will know it. A few years later, he teamed up with another guy, and they began to record as the duo "Tom and Jerry" Jerry, of course from his solo career. But very soon, they changed the name of the duo to another name. The new name? Well, only the fabulous "Simon and Garfunkel"!
