A slightly different version of the 70's soul classic,with an alternate vocal style.Maybe the best record ever released that didn't get into the UK charts.

A grest song by a great talent,Dobie Gray (1940-2011).

This is a sweet version. This song is so hard to cover -- it's one of those songs that you don't sing -- you have to channel it. Like, the song sings you. Dobie doesn't rush the lyric either like cover bands or even Bo Bice does, he has a little hesitation before each word he sings. Laid back but so passionate. His Gospel background really brings it.

Hey, do I detect a little cowbell at about 1:07 ?

Just... Mind blowing

I think I like this version better-- a little more dirt road to it or something

Dear Dobie.

'Thanks for the joy that you've given me,

I want you to know I believe in your song.'

Pass well and rest in peace. x
