I wonder how many people listening to and enjoying this realise that the singer Gordon Sharp, originally from the small town of Linlithgow in Scotland, later became Cindy Sharp? To me it brings an additional poignancy to the song - an undercurrent of additional emotion in what remains a memorably powerful vocal performance. IMO Better than the original from Alex Chilton’s Big Star and the later cover by Jeff Buckley. Still awesome after all these years.
