Gospel ballad cut in Nashville, Gene's hometown. There's plenty of black music coming out of this country capital. There's the Fisk University (see Swing Low Sweet Chariot) and there's producer-songwriter Ted Jarrett, black but fed on a country diet, writing hits for Ruth Brown, Hank Ballard and Johnny Ray.
Covers:
Rolling Stones [on debut album]
Nappy Brown [with The Heartfixers]
Sylvester Stewart's Sly & The Family Stone composition is another song.
