ron coleman
in 1973, new birth recorded a james brown-esque style recording of the song with lead singer leslie wilson, who sounded like womack, was vocally influenced by sam cooke. their fast-paced version peaked at number four on the r&b charts and number thirty-five on the hot 100. the new birth version is the better-known version and has garnered praise. in 1975 columbia records released a third version of this classic track. the least known of the three, this version by kokomo, a british-soul group, includes delicately mixed congas with a tempo similar to new birth's and is perhaps, musically, the funkiest of the three. lead singer tony o'malley's vocal style is reminiscent of [dr. john]'s. the background harmonies and ad-libs make this an outstanding track.
