DON'T RAIN ON MY PARADE---Barbra Streisand---Bobby Darin.

Although this is a much less heard version I prefer Bobby Darin--but a close contest.

I can decide for you: Ike and Tina Turner! Never liked the CCR recording.

Here's another from that period with a remake from the early 1980s. (A sample from it is used in the overplayed Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keys and Jay-Z.)

Love On a Two Way Street:

The Moments
Stacy Lattisaw

Love both, but I have to go with The Moments' original.
