Classic r&b from the legendary Stax/Volt catalog which would later be bought and re-released by Atlantic. If you don't think you know a bunch of Sam & Dave songs... you do.
The King's later material is under-appreciated. The lush, orchestral pop of songs like this and later "Kentucky Rain" and "Suspicious Minds" are my favorite pieces of his catalog. This version from the untouchable '68 Comeback Special is fantastic.
Hard to choose a song from one of my favorite artists and dear friend. I chose this one for a few reasons. When I got divorced 7 years ago, my 25-year friendship with Michael, our time together on the phone... This album and song saved my ass.
