    I have to admit, this was a pleasure and likely the first time I've ever listened to either of them sing a full song...

    However...

    Yeah, that one is tougher for me to judge. Sam's version sounds pure while the Spinners' version is a bit more funky/up-tempo. But just like the Valli/Spinners versions of Working My Way Back To You, both sound awesome.

    Not really a remake...but a remix. I've heard so many remixes that are so much better the original material...with this track, I'm sorta down with the original...but really love the Diplo remix...such an awesome mix of old skool house...

    Not better, but definitely interesting in a cool way. The Cure covering Joy Division.

    not going as far as saying this is better than the original, it's a good cover though.
