The band has Rick (Jessie's Girl) Springfield on lead and Beeb Birtles (Little River Band) on bass. I actually love it!!!

Here it is....



hate it?! No way, this cover is fantastic, thanks for posting it! Thumbs Up

sorry, but i don't like this version at all. where is the tragedy in the music which clearly is in the lyrics? the cover version by Vanilla Fudge is much much better


the Vanilla Fudge cover is better than this one, I agree but I still liked this Zoot cover but then I like this kinda 70s hard rock sound.

Yeah, OK, I'm going here - The Cardigan's take on Black Sabbath's `Iron Man', now turned into sultry jazzy lounge pop! A great reinvention that sounds like one of their own tunes now!
