I see the earlier version of this song was done in 1981. I've just listened to that, and also to the current version.

Lionel's voice sounds quieter, less strong and even less resonant in this current version. That might be due to 30 years of aging. It might also be partly due to his wanting to showcase Shania's voice, or match her volume or some other aspect.

I suspect that both Lionel and Diana were in their prime, when they did the original song.

Did not realize that the earlier version was regarded as the best duet of all time. That's quite a challenge for Lionel and especially Shania to take on, in her come back from voice box stricture.

I thought she did very well, when I heard the version several days ago. I haven't heard the cd commercial version yet.
