Performance tip

Keep the opening controlled and save the strongest volume for the final chorus; pushing early makes the ending harder.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Choose this for an oldies-friendly room or a set that needs an instantly recognizable classic when you want a reliable women's selection. It asks for a broad range and little room to hide in the climactic lines, and character and storytelling matter as much as pitch.
