Hey, I don't see the George Benson version, which happens to be my favorite.
-
Chris Brown's version is real nice. His best vocal performance, IMO.
J. Moss' version has that gospel swing. Not bad.
-
I didnt even know there were any other versions besides Donny's.
-
Donny's number 1 .... but if I had to choose someone else I would go with Christina Aguilera
-
I dig Chris Brown's and that is all I dig about him. He has a raggedy attitude and it makes him look like boo boo! But that baby shole can sang! He needs to sing for Jesus!

Ditto.
I can't believe you didn't add Kierra Sheard on the list....my God, you can't miss the season without listening to her version....I just love the way she and Marcus Cole sings it!!! Brian Courtney Wilson's not bad either.

I like the Whispers version.
-
Im still a fan of the original. To me you just cant beat the sound of it. Maybe because all the studio magic is there. Full orchestra, band, etc. Something about all those ppl having to be on one accord to make a production.
