They all are amazing, such beautiful voices. I heard Citizen Queens version for the first time today...WOW!
But I must say my favorite version is from Roberta Flack 🥰

Roberta Flack's version is haunting and memorable. The other 2 versions are showy and overly dramatic.

Stick with the original and her longing and poignancy.

This song is strikingly similar to "Superstar" by the Carpenters...

@SumKindaMunster I agree about Roberta Flacks version however I do like the other two for different reasons as well. I just love the song.

Is there any point in listening to the other two versions? Roberta Flack nailed this song nearly 50 years ago.

@graphite I like the other two but agree about Robertas.

@ChipmunkErnie I admit that I didn't think of this version when I posted. I was so impressed with Citizen Queens version that that led me to ask the question.

@ClassicRocker Haven't heard that one, but I don't remember the Fugees version, either. Frankly, I don;t remember anything about the Fugees except the name. ;)
