Cher Version
Cher remade "Baby I'm Yours" for the soundtrack of her 1990 film vehicle Mermaids; her version - arranged to replicate Barbara Lewis' hit and produced by Peter Asher who as a member of Peter and Gordon had had the UK hit of "Baby I'm Yours" - was not featured in the film but was elected as the lead single from the soundtrack for release in the UK and Europe after the US single release "The Shoop Shoop Song" - which as remade by Cher had played under the film's closing credits - fell short of the Billboard Top Thirty. "Baby I'm Yours" failed as a single - its only apparent charting was in the UK at #89 - but it was decided to follow it up with the single release of "The Shoop Shoop Song" in the spring of 1991 and this single - which utilized "Baby I'm Yours" as B-side - spent five weeks at #1 in the UK and achieved Top Ten status in several European countries as well as Australia and New Zealand; click for chart specifics. (Coincidentally the precedent single to Linda Lewis 1976 UK hit remake of "Baby I'm Yours" had been the first major UK hit version of "The Shoop Shoop Song", entitled "It's in His Kiss".)

Famous quotes containing the word version:
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
