Azure Devops Pipeline Is Throwing Error Installing Node Js

I am creating an Azure Devops pipleline , here is my pipeline -

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu 16.04

steps:
- task: NodeTool@0  
  inputs:
    versionSpec: ‘14.x’
  displayName: ‘TASK | Install Node.js 14.x ’

But I am getting following error -

Starting: ‘TASK | Install Node.js 14.x ’
==============================================================================
Task         : Node.js tool installer
Description  : Finds or downloads and caches the specified version spec of Node.js and adds it to the PATH

Not sure whats going wrong here. I have tested the same with versionSpec : 12.x, 10.x etc, but no luck
