I think without the video I posted, 'Wonderin', though still a good-sounding old tune, would be about 1/4th the artistic 'package' it is without the visuals. Somehow, his voice, which I don't usually like at all, is ideal for this production and no one could have possibly done it 'better'.
My 'issues' with Neil Young's music goes much deeper than his voice. I dislike him on several levels, not all musical. That's not to say that I don't acknowlege his talent, creativity, social conscience, or justified popularity as an artist, which are undeniable.
As an aside, I looked for his backup 'doowop' singers 'The Shocking Pinks' on Youtube, but only found a group by that name that were perhaps the absolute opposite of the three young gentlemen snapping their fingers in the backseat of the Cadillac. I almost have to assume that because the video is probably approaching 25 years old, these are different guys than the moody bunch I found.
