I'm a little obsessed with this song. Here are several versions I have that I like:

Great version, was only released as a reissue, right?
Yeah, one of the songs on the Cali-Tex reissue which was reportedly found in the basement of an old motorcycle gang hideout.
Mostly obvious sides like Harlem Underground and Grover Washington, Roland Kirk and Nancy Wilson.
Thanks for the Calypso Kings, Crowns of Glory and Jay Mitchell versions. I enjoyed.
At the end of the day Bill Withers has the best version.

This version always sounds suspiciously like the Eddy Senay version with singing added:
Yes Butcher, I think most agree Bill Withers is unequaled. I guess I thought it was implied that I meant the best version other than the original, but I should have said best cover instead.
Today my favorite cover is the gospel one you posted.
