Those guys at Glitterbox have come up with eight different mixes of Alaia & Gallo's 2016 cover of this Bill Wither's song covered by quite a few
others.
I think the first version I heard was Della Reece's, but it has
been covered by artists such as Gladys Knight & The Pips, Three
Degrees and Tamiko Jones in the 70s and many others since, with Jose James
recording it in 2018 on a Bill Withers tribute album 'Lean On Me'
The best 'vintage' version being from Creative Source, who released it as
a single and also as an
11:45 minute version
on their self-titled debut album on Sussex in 1973. The 'real deal' and
definitive version in my book! I reckon some 'imaginative' DJ could give
the 7" version spins on Northern Soul dancefloors in these more
enlightened times?
I've selected what I consider the best mix, The Dr Packer Remix, some of
the other mixes are more targetted at house clubs.
