A brilliant version of a wonderful song. Really 'owned' by Patsy Cline but Don stamps his beautiful style all over it. Not great quality on the movie, but I love it. We saw DM a couple of times in the seventies and enjoyed the shows from a thoroughly engaging performer who loved his songs and cared about the people he sang to.
