    Wow! I honestly think they both sounded great! Haha. I love how at 2:39, when Luther did his little Scat, George looks up at the ceiling, like: "Damn. I can't beat that." But he sounded amazing in his own soulful way as usual:)

    88feji George is vocally outclassed in every way and you are in denial. So your observation of the situation overrules the admission of the man who was a victim of the massacre? I saw poor George with the deer in headlights look that night live as it happened and I could see the intimidation then just like it happened in this replay now!

    The original Motown track featuring the late Jimmy Ruffin, is the standard by which the bar was set on this hauntingly beautiful classic. No other covers match the intricate blending of his gospel tinged voice with the silky smooth harmonies of the Hitsville orchestration, harmonies, and mellow backgrounds. Would have loved to have heard a version from THE Temptations; led by brother David. May they both rest in peace. 🎤👓🎩👞🎤👞🎤👞🎤👞🎤👞

    Luther wasn't showboating. This is black music: expressive, heartfelt and strong. Luther's a good singer and sings in a way Boy George can't/doesn't and that's okay. But, I think another singer could have sung this with Luther, someone more along the lines of Jamie Foxx or even Lenny Kravitz, these (2) would be more complementary. Luther and Boy George did a good job with this beautiful song, but were mismatched and Luther's singing honors the original more.
