Two versions of a great song.
The first imo substitutes syrup, oversinging and overproduction for heartfelt emotion.
The second is much simpler, but simply brilliant.

I agree that this is a Fantastic Tune & a Classic that will never grow old, also that Nilsson's version is better but there is not many who better an original

I get sick of hearing this song tbh, but its probably thgreatest love song ever written imo. Particularily if you know the story behind it. You can hear the sheer,genuine desperation in his voice.

Although I agree again this is a good tune/song it isn't in the same league as the Nilsson one in my opinion. I prefer Cocaine of Claptons and Tears of Heaven

Nillsons version wasnt the original. Badfingers was the original.
I think we have all got a bit blase about Layla over the years because it has had so much airplay. But when it first came out and I first heard it, the emotion was so raw it was almost too painful to listen to.

That is boring to mate I'm afraid

Two different versions of the same song again, but both by the same person many years apart. In the first its quite raw again, because hes singing about Patti Harrison (Layla) again.
The second is 25 years or so later, and is a more polished and accomplished performance, but I think I prefer the first.

Hmm not much of a soul fan myself.

Nilsson good effort, though Mariah better to look at

Try Meat Loafs' 'For crying out loud' for goose bumps. Listen to it all the way through, volume up.

I'll just put t'kettle on and be back in ten for a verdict.

Try again, skip the first 3-4 mins, it's 'a song of two halves' as they say. :-/
