I for one am rocked by this group. I am 70 years old and remember when the REAL R&B singers sang and harmonized exactly like this. This is God's music. and guess what? I'm a Caucasian lady. So many Black songs were stolen by Whites in the 1950's, which I considered a crime. Thanks for moving my old soul one more time!! I would hug each one of these guys if I could. They are the TRUE entertainers. God Bless them!

I agree with what you are saying but one of the blackest white performers( Paul Simon) honored it by bringing to a white audience and giving the exposure it deserved

WOW! I'm certainly "feelin" it! Outstanding job!

It's not the Black version...It the THE version. Ask Paul.

In reponse to profnachos question, the albums I found this song were:

"The Essential Paul Simon" (2007)

"The Paul Simon Antho;ogy" (1993)

"Here Comes Rhymin' Simon" (1973)

The latter album was re-released in 2004 with additional cuts, including a neat-sounding accoustic demo version. Hope this helps.

The quality is not good on the vid, so it's hard to compare to Simon's studio recording. But to honest, I prefer the O'jays version that was in the film Fighting Temptations.

Ira Tucker is my father. He's still alive. 89 years old singing since 1938. Real talk. I live in GA, he outlived my mother. God bless him with much love

if thats the black version it`s pitiful. paul simon tore that song up. it`s infinitely better than this fiasco.

Is this the Oahu show in March 2006? I saw the one on Maui with The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.(3/2/06) They had the whole place on their feet singing and clapping as the two bands came together for a couple songs at the end of the concert. People were crying with tears of joy, it was a very moving evening to say the least. God bless Ira Tucker, his chariot has taken him home.

Maui no ka oi!!
