no...he doesn't hit all the notes...needs a bigger range.

[cliverkay]

The best version is the James Carr version without a doubt .. Have a listen.

[door2yourheart]

@cliverkay Yes i have that version, it's good, ok!? Prefer Oscar tho! All his versions of previous releases by other artists are the very best!

[door2yourheart]

@cliverkay Much as i like James Carr, his version is rather lack lustre, almost somnambulist by comparison. Mind you, James didn't have much competition with that tune at that time. Oscar brought it to life!

OMG! Thanks for posting this. I thought James Carr's version was awesome, but this is divine.

[Timowattimena]

your the best

[xxxdokan]

takes me back to my teenage days to the love of my life still together 40 years on

[toprookie]

This is the best version of this song I've ever heard.

[door2yourheart]

I totally agree of course! Thanks for the comment!

[AlexDittmer]

I've never heard of Oscar Toney before this. Thanks for posting it. What an amazing voice, powerful and heartfelt (1:41). Simply great!

[door2yourheart]

Glad you like it Alex, thank you for commenting!

This is another great rendition of this song. different flavor, same powerful soul. A classic brown liquor song.

[door2yourheart]

A great version that slipped by the industry.

[door2yourheart]

In my opinion the best version!

[peady64]

Amen on both comments, my friend.

[saoirsemd]

Totally agree -- captures everything in the song like no one else.
