Artist: Lorraine Ellison
Author: Jerry Ragovoy/Chip Taylor
Label: LoMa
Year: 1968
Philadelphia gospel & soul singer. Written a few years earlier for Garnett Mimms as a ballad. Lorraine also cut Ragovoy's Stay With Me Baby (see there) first, with a 46 piece orchestra waiting in vain for Frank Sinatra.
Covers:
Janis Joplin [her motto; more Ragovoy songs she covered: Cry Baby and Piece Of My Heart (see there)]
Chip Taylor [coauthor]
No one didn't even think of out-doing Janis Joplin's performance, explaining the lack of covers.
