Biased toward second recording

The original recording of this song by Roberta Flack has had abidingly more impact than the second recording by two male musicians, which is favored here for reasons that are not clear (unless it's the same-old same-old problem of gender bias at Wikipedia). The entry should be rewritten to remove the bias, and the box should not reference only the second, less influential, recording. Either there should be no box, or it should give equal weight to the original recording (in which all of the lyrics are sung) and the second recording (in which only the theme phrase is sung). It would also be good to include the lyrics, since they are what made the song influential. I am sorry that I don't know enough about editing Wikipedia articles to make so many substantial changes to a page, and I hope that someone will make them.Rentstrike (talk) 03:48, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
