Talk:The First Cut Is the Deepest

Ok, i'm going to have to say that Rod Stewart's cover was the best of all the rest!

They've missed a band - Little Angels. mid 90's rock group. very good live, international.

Performers
On allmusic.com they say Gene Pitney performed the song first in 1966. I don't know anything about it though, maybe someone else does? nftaDaedalus 14:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Judy Mowatt included it on "Mellow Mood" in 1975. Several reggae artists recorded it, but she happens to be my favorite. E A (talk) 21:25, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Which two lines were cut?
I'm confused:

"While the Stevens, Arnold and Hampshire recordings sang this chorus intact, the Stewart and Crow renditions omitted the last two lines, an omission which might give the listener a different sense of the song."

The two lines of lyrics immediately prior to this text are "And I'm sure gonna give you a try… just remember, the first cut is the deepest." ("sure gonna give you a try" I distinctly remember from the Stewart version) So maybe "the last two lines" means the chorus as given earlier in the article "That's how I know, the first cut is the deepest." Again, I imagine remembering those, too, in the Stewart version.

So which "last two lines" is the article referring to? And is it accurate?

Neither does the Crow's version omit the "And I'm sure gonna give you a try…" line :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.25.163.11 (talk) 10:01, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Genre of Sheryl Crow version
The song was also in the country charts. The genre must be country also? https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/country/7897022/sheryl-crow-songs-best-hits-list --2A02:908:1A76:8E20:2074:CBBC:3BB3:5FD5 (talk) 23:34, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
