i posted a Jackie Shane song a few pages ago...Toronto,s own........this one is a cover of the Ben E King classic....when i first heard Jackies version. so many years ago. i went crazy, and years later i still cry out.."lord have mercy'' and "good god almighty" lol...i know im reminising, about the past, but i have a passion about old time soul music and maybe there are some soulsters out there who havent heard this tune, because this is soul at its best..imo...
