My favorite version is by John Gary. The guy had a three-octave range.
In saner times, why would literally dozens of the most loved singers of the last 60 years record such disgusting lyrics?
Different versions of the awful lyrics
Mentally balanced adults would deem this a sad non-issue.
The song that Gary covered that I thought took best advantage of his range and phrasing length (he was a swimmer) was Unchained Melody. I actually have a CD with it I bought to hear it like the 60s.
