The original of this song is pretty sappy, but also just flat-out good.
The cover?
Well, it just makes me happier. I love the thick accent but clear enunciation of Ken Yokoyama.
Just as a sidebar, I had a sweetheart when I was younger that I was totally enamoured with. It didn't end up going anywhere useful, except that she really hated Elvis. I didn't think much of him. But just to be annoying to her - boys'll do that to girls they like - I started to turn up Elvis whenever he'd come on the radio instead of switching him off. In the process, I started to really appreciate his voice and presentation.
