Her version's probably the most famous.
It was however written by Kris Kristoffersonssen.
Or Mr. Kris Kristofferdopolis as I like to call him.

Well that was highly quirky and enjoyable in the aforementioned ironic way. Incredibly gentle and retro, lounge music at its genuine best. And yes, romantic in the traditional and much-missed way.
4/5
4/5

I think it was more a case of ending it prematurely.
A bold move - brevity is the soul of wit and all that...

What got me was not that he was especially 'cringe' at the easy listening lounge singing, but just how alien and archaic the songs/arrangement was, like 1920s foxtrots or something. I think I'm old enough to remember when they were if not contemporary, well old-fashioned, but they could still be considered a form of 'pop music'
It was fine for what it was, ★★
Too late to change it to ★★★?
