How about this minimilist interpertation of Burt Bacharach's huge, sweeping aria, recorded in 1963 by Cilla Black (#1 in the UK) & by Dionne Warwick (#1 in the USA)? I am zany for the Shelby Lynne album of tunes associated with Dusty Springfield- Just A Little Lovin' from 2008. I like cover versions that ask us to look at a familiar song in a whole new way.
This song has also been covered by by Michael Ball, Björk with the Brodsky Quartet, Tim Curry, The Four Seasons, Maureen McGovern, Olivia Newton-John, Maxine Nightingale, Marc Almond, Martha Reeves &the Vandellas, Linda Ronstadt, & Luther Vandross.
