What a beautiful, hearbreaking performance! If only... No wonder Dave Marsh placed this all the way up at #15 in his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul, and Rolling Stone pegs it at #26 on their list. Not only that, but the flip is a terrific uptempo Otis rocker. Note: This copy has pristine mint audio. It's the second pressing on the short-lived, multicolored Volt label and comes in a vintage Atlantic/Atco Records factory sleeve.
