The original, by Sam Cooke





The cover, by R.Kelly

Now, if you dare attempt to take on a master at his art - you had better have something special about you. Well, R.Kelly, for many, is the modern day king of RnB/Soul. His version of this song is quite simply a joy to behold. Even Jools Holland can not hide his admiration for the man sat next to him singing as though the song was his own.

I would not even dare suggest  that perhaps R.Kelly's impromptu version is better...
