    I definitely like this more contemporary version by the Boneshakers:



    don't know what this is, but it's got some spunk:

    Great thread. i didn't know about some of these versions. For me its a tie with Gwen mcCrae and Latimore.
    Its also funny that this song currently fits my life situation right now.

    just to be fair.. let's include the original latimore version since the one posted above is a newer one.
    I think to me it's a tie between this and O.V. Right. Haven't heard the Etta James version before.


  • the 45 of the latimore version is a completely different mix right?

    it's the same minus the intro.. check at 1:28

  • the OV is edgy and awesome. mad drama

    what he said-------------but i also love latimore and gwen's
    the sound of the piano in the OV wins me over though

    Such a good song, but for personal reasons I just have to go with Gwen's version.

  • OV always wins for me

    It's a toss up between OV Wright & Latimore. Although, they're all dope. My coin toss said Latimore.

    The 45 has been edited, but it's the same mix.

    i actually really like that version!

    still, had to throw down for O.V. nothing tops that strings & piano intro.

    OV version is pre-make-up sex and the original Latimore is post-make-up sex (that didn't work)...at which point you gotta give the OV another go.

  • GWEN MCRAE! O V Wright's vocals are pretty awesome though.
