While there are some other incredible versions of this beautiful song (Thee Midnighters and Jay Wiggins spring to mind) this recording by the great San Antonio group Charlie & The Jives (their "I Want You" was a 45 of the day a few years back) is the one that really grabs my heart. Perhaps it is the just slightly out of tune wooziness that captures the mood of the song so well, but this slice of Tex-Mex soul just wipes me out.
