Here's the spine tingling original by Merrilee Rush and the Turnabouts:

It's been covered by many female singers since including Juice Newton:

But the very best of the covers may be this one by Billie Davis:

Dusty Springfield!

Dusty Springfield - Wishin' And Hopin'

"I Only Want to Be with You" Dusty Springfield

Dusty Springfield - Son of a preacher man

Dusty then was perhaps the best of the girls from the other side of the pond.

I don't think (my opinion) that Dusty is/was better than Lulu ..

Shirley Bassey ...

Shirley Bassey - Goldfinger [James Bond Theme Song] [HD]

Here in North America Shirley is basically known only for Goldfinger but she had many chart hits in the U.K. beginning in 1956. Here's a tune recorded originally by Ben E. King with which she reached the U.K. top five in 1963:

Shirley Bassey - I Who Have Nothing

Another singer who reprised the track was Tom Jones who had a hit with it in 1970.
