Mick Hartley

It's shaping up for a wet Easter weekend, so here we go – Ann Peebles with a classic 1974 slice of Memphis soul, from the same Hi studios that produced all those great Al Green sides:

There's a brief studio reminiscence here on the origins of the song (Ann with, I think, Don Bryant, her husband and staff songwriter for Hi, plus producer Willie Mitchell), followed by a live version, with some testifyin'. But really, it's one of those songs where the original studio version is absolutely unimprovable.
