A quick post as just reminded of how good this is from a recent podcast I was listening to. Not released as a single (as far as I can tell unless it's a reissue) and wasn't on the US release of the self-titled album on Mowest from 1973.
What a wonderful set of pipes on this, so soulful, deep/crossover track. She's probably best (only?) known to a mass audience for her cover of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Don't Leave Me This Way a #1 hit in US and #13 in UK 1977. HM & Blue Notes version (billed as Harold Melvin & Blue Notes Featuring Teddy Pendergrass) from Wake Up Everybody LP, wasn't released as a single in US and pipped Houston's version in UK by reaching #5 a couple of weeks earlier!
