Love it.

Don't know about that, but you can find the "original" Heep version here on Youtube. It has all the tenderness you need. If difficulties, check my channel.

muscleco may be referring to the 1963 version of this song by Harry Belafonte, available a.o. on The Collection series distributed by BMG. This version features velvet voiced Harry with a girls choir. A real nostalgic tear jerk, quite different from this superb version by Uriah Heep.

A few years back, I heard a really haunting song called "Come away Melinda". It was sung by a girl called Barry St. John and it just scraped into the top 50 (in Britain) at the end of 1965. She had a really beautiful, plaintive voice and I seem to remember there being a chorus in it sung by children. It didn't sound anything like Uriah Heep's - as good as their version is - I presume it was the same song. Perhaps someone could track it down to compare and contrast!

There also is an older version by Heep, on the Album Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble. It's from the late sixties, early seventies. Much more melodic and rich in tones than this. But not sung by a girl, though.
