Talk:You Don't Know What Love Is

Etta James

IMO the greatest version is by Etta James from Heart of a Woman (1999). Surely this should be listed along with Lady Day and the others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alf Heben (talk • contribs) 23:53, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

There are two different songs with the same title! One composed in the 40´s and the ther one in the 90´s. Its necessary a disambiguation page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.80.51.168 (talk) 03:10, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

I agree with the first comment about Etta James. Her version is one of the best and I've added her name to the list; no problems exist with disambiguation ... she is singing the same song (written by Don Raye and Gene de Paul) that the page is about. Xenxax (talk) 12:57, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

NPOV

I don't understand why this article has the NPOV tag; no personal opinions seem to be stated. If no one objects or explains within a reasonable time, will remove the tag. - Xenxax (talk) 13:51, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

COI matter?

[[:File:Helena Mattsson "You Don't Know What Love Is" Wild Side Story 2003.jpg|thumb|upright|Helena Mattsson sings You Don't Know What Love Is in Wild Side Story, 2003]] This article's only image was removed with the summary "not useful" and I wish I could say that was not (not) done by a user with the kind of conflict of interest that comes from personal animosity against the donor and the uploader and the contributor here. A neutral user might want to have look here and see how a photo of the song being done by the most intenationally notable person ever to be in that show could be considered "not useful"? I don't agree, but even though people like Ssilvers have questioned whether or not COI issues regarding me should be extended all the way to an actress I met years ago, I am reluctant to reinstate the image. A neutral look, that's all I ask. I always abide by neutral work. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:53, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Serge. I must agree that Mattsson's performance in Wild Side Story is not significant with respect to "You Don't Know What Love Is". If a cast album starring Mattsson singing the song had won a Grammy, or if she had separately released the song as a top ten single, for instance, it would be significant in this article. But even then, any image on this article should be of the most important proponents of the song, such as Carol Bruce, Billy Eckstein, Ella Fitzgerald, or someone whose recording topped the charts or became somehow famous. Indeed, most of the recordings listed in the table should not be there, but that is a problem for another day. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:10, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you sincerely - I rely on your fair appraisals. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:27, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

George Benson and Tony Bennett versions are important and must be mentioned in the list

The George Benson version released in 1989 as the #1 track on Tenderly (George Benson album) is a beautiful rendition of the song. Benson expertly captures its poignancy, passion, irony and pathos accompanied by pianist McCoy Tyner and others.Steveshelokhonov 21:20, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
