This song was originally written and recorded by Percy Mayfield. It became popular with Ray Charles' rendition with the Raelettes. The Charles version stayed at #1 for two weeks and became a standard, as well as a staple of Charles' catalog.
This rendition is a little different. The above video was secretly recorded by the performer's sister. It's one of those "that's not the voice you expected" scenarios. I also love the simple, understated guitar playing. I guess even if gingers don't have souls, they can still have soul. This is a great cover of a great song.
