Never heard this particular version of this classic, but I'm yet to hear a version I didn't really like and this is excellent.
Think this is the first time I've heard Bobby Bland singing something that isn't straight up and down blues. Such a great voice no doubt aided by those gaspers.
@shiningsun2k AFAIK this version is THE original but yes, plenty decent covers.
@pez Yep, don't know why, maybe folks should have written a few more soulful numbers for him. We'll never know now eh!
And after all these years, I finally know who did the original. I thought this might be it, but I'd heard so many versions, I wasn't sure!
