What a fantastic assortment of versions of this Pop Classic. Thanx so very much for the research & work to have all these posted. We enjoyed it a lot. I have a version of Bob Dylan doing a tribute to Kyo while he was performing in concert in Japan, shortly after Kyo's passing. It's audio only, but a fond rendition, nonetheless.
