A classic that's been done a number of times by a lot of different folks. However, the very best rendition I've ever heard was in the living room of my parent's house. My uncle played a slow strumming accompaniment on an acoustic guitar - he's the one that could have been Roy Orbinson. See Album 18 ‑ In The Beginning. He and my aunt sang this song to my grandparents (my uncle's parents) for their 50th wedding anniversary. Best harmonizing I've ever heard, absolutely perfect. Wish I would have had a recorder because it would have been a hit.
