Dave Marsh is absolutely correct to pinpoint this as one of the highlights of early 1970's soul music. Be sure to check out the equally angelic B side of this great single. Both sides were recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. The A side, by the way, is slightly edited from a 4:10 album version, and the B side appears to be a non-album cut, as it's missing from the duo's 1972 Stax album. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Stax Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels, and the vinyl looks Near Mint. The gorgeous audio plays Near Mint as well, with a touch of surface noise early on.
