Cream or Mary Hopkin?

Mary Hopkin, definitely and without a doubt! Dragged out an old LP just
to hear her voice again singing that song!!

Never liked the Cream version. Odd style!

They still play Mary's old song on the radio here every now and then!
That said, AM station 3MP was one of the stations that played this sort
of music and I notice, with quite some dismay, that it is going to the
"talk radio" format!!!!!

AM seems to be relegated to either talk, sport or cultural formats these
days. 3MP was pretty much the last holdout! The FM stations just don't
have quite the same mix as 3MP.
