This song has one of the most extraordinary vocal performances I have ever heard. Amazing that this particular record can be heard at all (look at the condition of the label), but, as is so often the case with a 60's pressed 45, they can survive years of abuse, get deep cleaned and sound pretty darned good.
Mattie's vocal performance is gospel influenced for sure (she has been a script writer and gospel singer for a number of years), and the performance simply soars into an orgasmic crescendo of passion and power.
from 1966...

Wow.. just listened to this 6 times in a row.. amazing record. (Is the b-side playable and any where near as good?) Been meaning to say thanks for all the amazing tunes you keep posting. Keep them coming!
This song is on a compilation called Lost Soul. It was put by Columbia in the 1980's. What a beautiful song.
Hi!
Great version, fabulous gospel voice. I will look forward for Mattie Moultrie records...
Thank for the post, good site. Keep up the good work!
Great ballad, I'm only into ballads so it's not often (I believe this is the first time)I'm asking for a song since you stopped the direct downloads. But I sure would like to receive this one, if you don't mind.
thanks in advance

Thanks Derek

HI, thank you for allowing me to enjoy this song which I do own, but can't play. What a classic! Gail
It's a great song and it's always exciting to hear another good version of it (which this def. is)
I got to see the Stones play it live with Solomon Burke about 6 or 7 years ago in L.A. It blew me away.
The Creation also did a nice cover of it.
Wow, Wow, Wow!!! Thanks!!
