WEll just thought I'd let you know I heard the original recording of the song for the first time today. Really sounds different from the GG remake.

Don't forget the live version, which can be found on either Disc 1 of Songbook or Sunday Concert.

Ultimately, I like the original better too but the version on Gords Gold has that beat added into it that always makes me want to dance

while there's certainly differences between all of the originals and re-recordings but he really modernized the remakes of ROD and W&W. I think the drum sounds in them did the trick.
