It's his intonation that irks me. "Time" is always "TAHM!" etc. And I hate the way so many Brit singers since have adopted it when they're trying to sound in serious classic songwriter mode (Robbie Williams, Gary Barlow).

But on the subject of early Nick Drake cover versions, Millie Small's Mayfair from 1970 is one of my favourites:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtuUpoiKQtQ

Elton John has no truck with the blind. "I bet they can see really," says the pop star.
