Yvonne does one of the finest versions of this song. Actually she did two versions, both included on her greatest hits cd. The second version is the best.
I have always thought that if she hadn't had such success with "If I can't have you," which made her synonymous with the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, and overshadowed everything else she ever did including her fine performance as Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar, that she would have been in the same league as other top female performers of her era like Stevie Nicks, Heart, etc.
She did several excellent albums before hitting big with that song. Her first self titled album, and "Food Of Love", which included her great version of "I can't explain. She wasn't a songwriter but sang every song as if she had written it herself, with her beautiful smooth as molasses voice.
