I prefer the original, the vocals purer, and broader, and vocally of more control. Maybe it was my time. The harmony was strong, and the musical arrangement is more supportive.

Not to say another isn't good or unique, just that the start is is where all things begin. I appreciate that.

But it is Boogy-woogie. The 50's had inspiration.

I have to agree. I generally like the originals more than the remakes but there are some remakes I like more. This isn’t one of them.
Springsteen’s “talent/appeal” completely evades me so I would enjoy the Bay City Rollers version more if they did one.
I always liked the cover version of this, for a long long time, I did not even know it was a cover. When I finally heard the original, it just sounded wrong some how.

I was never really a big fan either. I don't think I have ever posted a clip of his before, this one is pretty good. There might be one or two more of his tunes, that I kinda-sorta like.

I learned on the remake. But, I think the remake was more commercially pushed. Looking back, I think the cover was much more of a polished presentation, whereas the original was just an excellently lyrical product.
There are a lot of evaluations to a song; lyrics, arrangement, vocals, presentation, etc. Manfred Mann really did a good job with someone else's lyrics.

Remarkable that Paul Simon wrote this when he was 19. At that age, I was trying to figure out how to fill a cup from the keg without getting too much foam.
I'm guessing Bronze may have already posted this, but since I'm so far behind that I'm about to lap myself, I say, "Aw, fugitol."
It always gives me a cause to pause, even if not for enough time.
But yes, the girl can sing.
All (freakin') day and every (freakin') day.
They be trackin' us...
Two of my all-time favorites. Both often stopped me in my tracks.
Missed me, didja?

By the way, was I imagining things or did I see @WillyZee somewheres out & about? I know I've been a bit exhausted lately but if I was dreaming stuff, jeez, I'd hope it's not Willy I'd be dreamin' of. 
No offense, of course.

OK, so not going completely off the rails but I think a few wheels might be wobbling. Goth Rock with a touch of rap, so not for everybody. But great songwriting, great melody, and every time the intro moves into the actual song I get a tingly spine. And one more tremendous female singer.
