Thank you for posting this! My mother used to play the album this song was on to death. Matter of fact she used to rock my baby sister to sleep to either this song or Crying Time and my sister would fall asleep everytime with the swaying rhythm of the song.
Ray sings this song like he had first hand experience with the lyrics. Straight gospel melody with blues lyrics. I love Aretha's version too, but Ray brings raw emotion that tears at your heart.
Pure genius!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been looking for this version for years, years!!! It's the best. What does Tina sing, "Simply The Best". Well this is it.
GStrongRAW, my thanks.
