I'm 32 and i grew up on Bobby, Al, Stevie, Teddy and others but they are my absolute favorites. Sometimes i feel I was born in the wrong decade. Music was real, people were more genuine, and not afraid to be free in who they were and create something new. I get lost in my own world listening to the music of the great soul legends.

@@beats4life971 It is a cover. Bobby Womack was not the original lyricist nor the original singer. I believe this Womack version of the song was done in the mid-1970s, well after The Carpenters made it famous in 1970. Karen Carpenter's crystal clear voice powered this song to the top of the charts. The song was released multiple times by different singers in the 1960s-even before the Carpenters. To me Bobby Womack's interpretation of the song is an instant classic in its own rights. His phrasing; the places he chose to emphasize or soften; he expression of raw deep-love emotions is to me the essence of why he was called "The Poet."

Their conversations were so DEEP as well as the music. Man, Bobby's music was perfect since he's always been "real, not commercial". Thank God I have those experiences!!!
