Battle of the Bands - I Only Want to be With You

Firstly, I'm back! I would like to say I used the time off to get a LOT of writing done. I would LIKE to say that, but it wouldn't be true. However, I have been able to get a lot of projects done at home and I DID do a little writing. Not as much as I would have liked, however.

Secondly, I apologize for having done so many song battles in the past centred around the 80's. I endeavour to be more diverse and expansive. As such, I'm offering today a Dusty Springfield song. It's a great song from the 60's. I think you will like both versions I have provided. I was shocked to discover how many people have actually covered this song. So many in fact, it was difficult choosing the two I actually wanted to use. There were at least two other versions I was interested in using.

Anyway, I'm back as I said before. I hope you enjoy this battle!
