I do really like his version, but Dionne Warwick's is always the first that comes to mind for me. I guess I'm old enough (a child of the 60s and the early 70s) that I remember lots of versions of it.

Also while there are those that worship at the alter of KC, I found her version of "Home" to be... well...I had to turn of the TV.

Again
-- I'm one of them who worships at that altar.

I always cry at the end of "The Wiz". Diana Ross. Done.

See, I hate,
hate,
hate with a red hot passion the movie of "The Wiz." I was so disappointed in that movie. And I couldn't stand Diana Ross in it at all -- way too old to be Dorothy.
"The Wiz" was the first show I ever saw on Broadway. Stephanie Mills gave me chills at the end when she sang "Home" -- still does when I listen to the CD. (And the arrangement that KC did on Glee is, except for the choral back-up, almost exactly the same arrangement as Stephanie Mills' from the show.) I thought the movie absolutely butchered the show. So I guess we've both got issues with butchering.
But it's all good. It'd be a boring world if we all liked the same things.
