I will go out on limb and say I like the Tusk version of Beauty and the Beast. I would not say I like it better than Wild Heart but I think it would have added something to Tusk in replace of Beautiful child or Storms. Its a bluesy folksy kind of song which is radically different than the piano/strings ballad Stevie turned it into. I will say her solo version is very nice with the strings and Roy. It was great on the Wild Heart tour but she never did that song justice again. Roy was gone and never returned. RAL era was coked out improvising that ruined the beauty of the song. OSOTM version was tranqulized out. The Tusk version has grown on me over the years.
