Random Tune for Tuesday 4/12/11

I've heard it so many times before -- and I probably heard it first on an old Cher album/cassette/CD [choose your generational point-of-reference poison]. But I heard it most recently at the close of a recent Mr. Sunshine episode (tangent -- Andrea Anders, are you letting the boys from Friends just pass you around? first Joey, now Mr. Sunshine?) as a duet between Allison Janney and James Taylor. A quick glance at the old Wiki showed "famous" covers of it from nearly half a hundred artists ... so I'll break from normal protocol and list multiple youtube versions (again, choose your own musical miasma ...)

THE PRE-CRACKED WHITNEY HOUSTON WELCOMES HOME THE TROOPS WITH IT:
