Stevie Wonder has written a bunch of them... but my pick is "All In Love Is Fair"
In the lead by a long mile: Ella Fitzgerald singing Every time we say goodbye (1) Ella Fitzgerald Ev'ry time we say goodbye (with lyrics) - YouTube Honourable seconds: Emmylou Harris, Boulder to Birmingham Tom Waits, (Looking for) the Heart of Saturday Night - the song Bruce Springsteen would have sold his soul to have written. Dolly Parton, I Will Always Love You - ONLY in Dolly's original version; this, like Ella's Every Time demonstrates how when something's perfect you don't need to "make it better" with vocal fireworks.
