Nina's got YouTube after all--I forgot to check "Going To" vs. "Gonna": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp6rbMWcnVU Some other versions I enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wZdSYPi9qI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phsq-1dEC5w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RijkkTV8k8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssvdud8SnNc ...I like Neil Diamond's version, too, but I can't locate a YouTube for that using either "Gonna" or "Going To." As you can see, Randy cleaned up on this song. > Martha Wainwright is great harmony singer, but her lead vocals are grating and she can't really write a song. Teddy Thompson, on the other hand, has really come into his own with his new record. Noted, although I liked her debut. Her half-sister Lucy Wainwright Roche really impressed me.
