I actually listened to a bunch of these, just for the heck of it.
I didn't know the song before. Now I'm familiar with it. It's okay.
My favorite rendition was
Ella Fitzgerald's. She really brings life to anything, which especially stood out in a song to which I was indifferent. I'm always impressed with her choices: she never did things just to show off, but she was never overly cautious or boring, either. Her personality just shows through.
Doris Day was my second favorite, and the contrast is why I thought it worth writing a comment. She was very, very polished, in a way that doesn't hold my interest long. The difference between her and Ella isn't so much a matter of skill as personality... at least insofar as you can hear it. Though they're comparable singers, Ella is always far more enjoyable.
Mahalia Jackson: over-orchestrated, and over-blown, as too often was the case. Too many flourishes and other distractions from the instruments, and too much lingering to embellish. An example of a much better arrangment, in my opinion:
How I Got Over.
Jerry Lee Lewis looked high as a kite. Tolerable performance.
Elvis... well, it's Elvis. If you like his non-rock-and-roll stuff, you'll like it.
Glen Campbell: good singer, extremely boring.
Joey Feek: a bit of a surprise. For a fairly conservative performance, it had character. Minimal in the way that would have served Mahalia much better.
Most of the rest amounts to "et cetera".
