The Drifters get my vote...

... But that's because this wasn't a choice.

Still waiting for Gaard and Arion.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Surfer13 again.

George Benson's cover of this oft covered song is the best that I have ever heard.

For purposes of this contest - the Drifters.

Not my favorite versions of this song, either of them, but Neil as usual killed his song (and NOT in a good way), so going with The Drifters here.

Obviously my cover choice wasn't the one everybody would prefer. To be honest, I'd never heard George Benson's version.

I'll throw a lonely vote for Neil because I like to rock.

George Benson's on Broadway was one of the biggest hits of the year back in ... , I'm gonna guess and say 77.

It takes a lot for me to vote against the Drifters. George Benson would have been enough. Neil Young certainly isn't.

I really appreciate lots of Neil Young's work; he's given us so many good songs.

But this cover is quite terrible.

A vote for the Original by the The Drifters.

Well, I love Neil doing 'most anything, but OMG, not THIS!

For what it's worth, my cover choice would have been the one by Mike Smith and the Dave Clark 5.

That said...

The Original -- The Drifters, please!

Tim Burton was right: "A square jaw does not a Batman make." Steve Buscemi as the next Batman! Luke Perry as Joker! Let's make it happen!
