I used to like the Gord's Gold version the best, but later changed my mind to the original. I find he has a really raw expressiveness to his voice on that early 1966 version. I can almost "be" on the...

I have every GL song I own on my iPod. More than any other artist.

As for over-rehearsed, I may agree on the odd album. I think Gord tends to be too much of a perfectionist some times and...
