I first heard this song in 1967 when I was 16. It blew me away. I actually saw her sing it live about 6 years ago, 50 years later, at the Cliffs Pavilion. Her voice is as brilliant now as it was then.
This is the first time I’ve heard the original version of this song, and boy, it blows the Rod Stewart and Sheryl Crow versions out of the water. When Arnold sings that the first cut is the deepest, there’s actual emotion in her voice that tells you how much she was affected by that first relationship. Crow and Stewart, meanwhile, sing it so blandly, as if they were telling you they like eating cereal in the morning. This is definitely the best version of this song by far.
@@Baskerville22 Just have to respectfully disagree, her phrasing is beautiful. Neil Armstrong took P.P Arnold's version of "Angel of the Morning" with him on Apollo 11. He loved her voice, and I do too.
Agree with you! Also listen to the author of this song, good as well. AND! Lady D´Arbanville, written by the same talent composer Cat Steven (Yusuf Islam)

PP Arnold toured the UK in the 60s as an Ikette..with Ike and Tina Turner... Stayed in the UK..did lots of session/backing vocals.. This is THE definitive version...certainly my favourite..
What a great voice. P P Arnold must be one of the most under rated singers ever. She was performing on Vintage T V this week and her voice is still great.
Absolutely stunning version and by far the best in my opinion. Her voice is just full of soulful emotion and the arrangement is perfect. I remember this when I was a child but boy it sounds so much better now :)
True beauty comes from within... the eyes are the window to the soul. Just look at this beautiful human being and tell me that she is not FEELING the emotion in every word that she sings in every song that she has ever sang.
She is still doing the live shows around different places you will have to check her website for details. I myself would love to go see her but my health is not really up to it. ⭐️
Back in 67 after listening to PP Arnold and Procol Harum I had tears in my eyes and felt weak at the knees!!! Beautiful!! Rog. Pacific sunset records .
@@xzclaire 5 Years have passed, and I scrolled past your comment and noticed nobody replied, not that you still care, but she was 21 when she sang this.
Patricia Ann Cole ("P.P. Arnold") was only 20 -- and fresh out of a Los Angeles ghetto -- when she recorded this. It was written by a then-totally-unknown British man named Steven Demetre Georgiou -- who took on the stage name, "Cat Stevens" (and later renamed himself Yusuf Islam. He was just 19, even younger than Miss Arnold, who bought the song from him for £30. Life has many twists and turns.
Mr. Shah, you were supposed to reply to "XtreemMetalMan," not to me. He was the one that mentioned the word, "terrorist," not I. I am not aware of Mr. Georgiou's political activities.
I just love her. I love her work with the Small Faces. In a perfect world, she would have gotten airplay in the US AOR FM scene and toured. She would have knocked 'em dead. She's so tiny, and her voice is so huge. She has that big smile and she can phrase a song. I am glad that YT enables me to listen to ALL of the great rock that was produced during the heyday of classic rock and pop.
A crying shame she did not stay with the Small Faces. Her and Marriott on the mike. Would have been sensational and taken the Small Faces to that level Marriott was searching for and, sadly, never found. Arohanui
It's a great voice, but it's not just a voice. Someone else, somewhere, mentioned the bruised feel. That's the difference between great voice and a great singer. Like you I love her. I am a metal man. I mainly listen to Nordic metal. My phone has oly 120 tracks on it, and three of them are PP's.
Superb … she has just sung this live on bb2 piano room .. she still manages to make it SO emotive despite not have the same range now but it was still superb 👏👏👏👏
Still baffles me that so many people haven't heard it, didn't know she was THE original and no cover since has even got close. She epitomises soul, especially as she was so young.
Such a fantastic arrangement, percussion on the left, strings and keyboard on the right. PP Arnold everywhere! Definitely the best version of this song.
"The High Note" movie with Tracee Ellis Ross brought me here. There's a scene when a radio DJ is playing multiple versions of songs. Well, I was only familiar with the Sheryl Crow version. I heard the voice on this track, and I was blown away. I then "Shazamed," and here I am. Wow! Amazing! This was clearly all the song ever needed. It really doesn't matter who else sings it.
I remember listening to this on an old reel to reel tape recorder as a kid.This was the first version to chart and was written by Cat Stevens.Other recordings include versions by Cat Stevens,Rod Stewart and Sheryl Crowe.Lyrically brilliant and to my mind one of the best love songs ever written.
Just heard a 1970s version by Canadian Keith Hampshire for the first time today and by the miracle that is UA-cam, wound up here listening to this amazing version.
This song was one of my favorites I heard the most recent version in the mid 90s. I had no idea it had so many iterations. This version is amazing and soulful. Just wow
I love her voice and style. Where have they been hiding her all these years. And sorry to the Cheryl Crow fans, but P P Arnold's version here makes Sheryl's cover sound flat. P P Arnold no doubt has plenty of real soul and knows how set it free while singing.
PP Arnold sang at RAF Coltishall in the NAAFI during the late sixties. A small girl with a powerful voice and more than one airman fell in love with her. I was the lucky one to have a cup of coffee with her. A really great talent and being English just loved her accent.

I would have given you all of my heart But there's someone who's torn it apart And he's taking almost all that I've got But if you want I'll try to love again Baby I'll try to love again But I know The first cut is the deepest, baby I know The first cut is the deepest 'Cause when it comes to being lucky he's cursed When it comes to lovin' me he's worst But when it comes to being loved he's first That's how I know The first cut is the deepest; baby I know The first cut is the deepest I still want you by my side Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried And I'm sure gonna give you a try And if you want I'll try to love again Baby, I'll try to love again but I know The first cut is the deepest, baby I know The first cut is the deepest 'Cause when it comes to being lucky he's cursed When it comes to lovin' me he's worst But when it comes to being loved he's first That's how I know The first cut is the deepest, baby I know The first cut is the deepest Oh again Yeah, yeah, baby, baby, baby i know The first cut is the deepest (The first cut is the deepest), yes it is 'Cause when it comes, it comes to being lucky he's cursed When it comes to be in love he's worst
first time i ve heard p p Arnold sing this great song and she is the 1st original singer of it i believe wonderfully done great voice and most beautiful as well
PP Arnold breaks my heart with this song... and makes me fall in love with her at the same time. I love her voice. And the composition of this song is perfect.
She's just luvly,brilliant and beautiful and thanx 4 the in4 on this didn't know the history of this song that's so special it sounds as good now as it did all those years ago cheers!!!!
Heard PP Arnold's voice first on Small Faces Tin Soldier way back in the sixties and this track is pure class and has definitely stood the test of time here we are 50/60years later still commenting....again pure classic ..
I saw Pat sing this just two years ago. She came to the Tivoli in Buckley. There was only about 50 people there. We stood at the front and cheered her. She d been unhappy prior to the show. I knew her pianist and we met for a drink before the show. She was nt happy about the turn out or the food she d been brought. But she still came down and smashed it . Fantastic.
What a voice. And, I love the way you can tell a UK-recorded 1960s pop record from an American one by the increased number of instruments and smaller number of effects. Such a lush arrangement.
Don't forget. Apart from being a fabulous singer and a role model she was thankfully one of the most beautiful women in the world at the time still is. Thanks P.P.
This was my favourite song back in the day I was 21. Beautiful PP Arnold. Now that's a voice.
7 Psychopaths brought me here and I'll be back every yr or so 👍

written and recorded in late 1966 (sic) by CAT STEVENS
She is the best by far.
❤
You are so lucky to have caught her there. I heard Dionne Warwick at the Cliffs last year. Just magical!
I just heard this song from the movie ' the high note'.... instantly a favorite song that's on repeat
Great to know she's a Rock & Roll survivor and still has a great voice...
Still the best version of this song. just brilliant.
Yes this one .. my preference
Als other ones are to low for that lyrics
My favourite
great version but others are good too like Rod Stewart but my favourite is Sheryl crow's
I'm partial to Cat Stevens' version (that was the first version I ever heard) but this version... ooo chills! Just *chills!*

Check out the original Cat Steven's version!
It's NOT the original, but it is still iconic!
@@jamesoneill5070 Yes, Cat sang it on his first Album.
Without a doubt 😊👍from the Scottish Borders 🥂
The song was written by cat stevens, but this cover is far better than the original.
The best version....by far. The arrangement is quite wonderful and the vulnerability in her voice takes the song to another level
It is certainly my favourite version
Her voice is weak and tends to shouting. Nevertheless, I think she does a good job of butchering the song.
@@Baskerville22 Just have to respectfully disagree, her phrasing is beautiful. Neil Armstrong took P.P Arnold's version of "Angel of the Morning" with him on Apollo 11. He loved her voice, and I do too.

Best version,Raw!!
The moment I first heard this song I burst into tears...nothing's changed. Timeless classic.
Slainte
Amazing clarity of voice , one of the most memorable singers of the swinging sixty's , Britain's own 'Aretha Franklin ..
Me too!!!
This song touch my soul too
This song reminds me when I was a child in the 90’s
My mother playing this on tape cassette
Miss you Mum 🕊
She also sang backup in the Small Faces band with Steve Marriott, on the incredible song, Tin Soldier.
love the film clip to that song and she was one of Ike and Tinas backup girls
I dont understand how this isn't the number 1 search result. It's by far the best version.
PP Arnold toured the UK in the 60s as an Ikette..with Ike and Tina Turner...
Stayed in the UK..did lots of session/backing vocals..
This is THE definitive version...certainly my favourite..
I didn't even know this version existed until watching a vin diesel video.
I disagree, the first one should be the original 🤷🏻♂️
Couldn’t agree more
Rod and Cat are better imo.
What a great voice. P P Arnold must be one of the most under rated singers ever. She was performing on Vintage T V this week and her voice is still great.
She is still doing touring dates into next year 2023 💿
@@harryhackney6416 yes I saw her with the Manfreds a couple of years ago she was great
Best version of this song no question
While I love this song and love her voice, this version is a little over produced for my tastes. Still prefer Cat and Rod's versions better.
@@williamcremeen1289 Yes!
Absolutely stunning version and by far the best in my opinion.
Her voice is just full of soulful emotion and the arrangement is perfect.
I remember this when I was a child but boy it sounds so much better now :)
Yes very best but check out Kaschiff Lindo - reggae version comes close sweet voice
True beauty comes from within... the eyes are the window to the soul. Just look at this beautiful human being and tell me that she is not FEELING the emotion in every word that she sings in every song that she has ever sang.
What a comment and there is many version

Love this tune, PP Arnold owns it. Best version by far.
Beautiful song, she was very underrated. 🎉🎉
WHAT A VOICE HOW CAN SOMEONE SO YOUNG SING SO HEARTBREAKINGLY MATURE
life is hard
how old was she when she sang this?
Times were hard for
beatrice heslin I wonder & wonder. Some observe. Others are born emotionally mature iDK
@@xzclaire 5 Years have passed, and I scrolled past your comment and noticed nobody replied, not that you still care, but she was 21 when she sang this.
Her voice just conveys the emotion of the song so well, just like Rod Stewart….. I can’t make it through either version without crying
Such a beautiful song, it brings me back to times when I still have less worries.
Regretfully, never heard of her until coming across songs by her on...UA-cam. She is marvelous.
Such a beautiful powerful song and the best sung version ❤
Absolutely LOVE this song! Her voice, her vibe. Incredible
I can’t believe I only heard PP Arnold until a few years ago. This is by far the best rendition of the song. Also, she is beautiful!
Still my favourite version..... beautiful song...with real feeling....she sounds in real pain...it's real....for her.. Melanie 32 ❤️🌈
Few things amaze me anymore, but this lady does! I'm sorry 🙏 I learned about her too late, but thankfully I found this song just now
Same for me. Better late than never.

Not no mo - Ronstadt can sing at all.

One of the best female singers of the sixties in the UK.

P.P. Arnold is such a great vocalist!
What a sound, what a voice !
Fantastic voice,makes everything sound better.
And so hot too!
great voice and very pretty too, one of my favourite songs from the 60's
She also did arguably the best renditions of Different Drum and Angel of the Morning, not to mention As Tears Go By.

Yes , my time for music & PP Arnold was the.origional singer . Great number 👏
The last verse is sung an octave higher than most singers can even reach, and she's belting it out.
One of the best songs ever
This is the best version of this song by far
great singer and voice from 1967
What a voice. And, I love the way you can tell a UK-recorded 1960s pop record from an American one by the increased number of instruments and smaller number of effects. Such a lush arrangement.
Such ignorant bullshit. This recording is an attempt to mimic the American recordings of Phil Spector.
NO ONe sings this like PP, soulfull soulfelt and the emotion oozes from it.
*soulful
So heartfelt.....I could listen to this forever.
So beautiful make me cry lovely person her and Tommy bolin so underrated love it so much
I'm HERE BECAUSE I've LOVED THE SONG SINCE IT WAS RELEASED !!!!!
I saw pp Arnoldl live at the ram jam club brixton in the early seventies . She sings the song with so much soul ( feelings )
Hugely under rated talent.
Brilliant, the best version of this song ever.
When that bass and piano kick in is perfection
Don't forget. Apart from being a fabulous singer and a role model she was thankfully one of the most beautiful women in the world at the time still is. Thanks P.P.
This is the first time I've heard P. P. Arnold's version of this heartbreaking beautiful song.
