Besides the A side taking up position #533 on Dave Marsh's Top 1,001 singles list, the B side is at #685 on the list... so this single is doubly Tops! By the way, the A side is a non-album tune that didn't even appear on Aretha's 1971 Greatest Hits album, which featured the 5:37 live version of the song from her Fillmore Live album. I'm not sure if this 3:18 version ever appeared on LP. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and pristine sound.
