I've always been a huge fan of the late-great Billy Preston. I thought his original version of this tune with the late Syreeta Wright was fantastic (it is) and then I ran across this version on YouTube; gives it a good run for it's money. Watch the entire thing; worth it. They aren't much of a visual match , but luckily it's the TALENT that's on display here.
