I believe it was written by a white man, and I once heard his country version, which I believe was the original, but now I can’t seem to find it. I loved it.

@@lindajones8101. Yes written by Dan Penn and and Chips Moman.

I'm 62, best of my generation. Imho

I agree he was amazing

I can’t think of anyone better ...

Great singer for sure. Soulful. Have you ever checked out Eddie Hinton?

Perhaps right up there among the greatest White blues singers, yes.His performance of this song is certainly one of the versions I listen to most! It speaks with totally felt sincerity!

AMAZING

Indeed, but, this uploader knows what is good and gives it to us after he gets his hands on it. djclay33...

I feel the same. God bless.

I totally agree 😢😊 I have so many memories of seeing ABB, and The Gregg Allman Band live, and was always able to get to the stage. Rest in Peace Gregg Allman, you are missed and loved ✌️❤️🌼

@@DH-xm3hc I'm on my 2nd copy of "Southern Blood" cd.

I agree, such soulful music, thanks for posting.

Really you typed SHOULD when you meant to type SOUL? Come on. Mr Allman touched your SHOULD? Please, this is embarrassing. Correct that mess.

I hear God's message Through his Voice, So I rejoice in all the Soul and comfort he brings in all the songs he sings , you are missed but still not gone , kept alive by The music and the Love you have for Music it always shines

Check out the James Carr version................. unbeatable.

Flying Burrito Brothers for the country rock version since it was originally a country song I do believe. I also like the way the guy who wrote it saying it although it’s hard to find his version online. I think his name was Dan Penn.

Thank you for the info! I have just updated the info to include a little bio of him. Thank you for posting that.

Only two things come from AL.

Linda Ronstadt did a fine job on this song too!!! But NO ONE touches Mr. Gregg Allman!!!!!!! Just my opinion!!!!

@@beckyfinch6628 Co-writer Dan Penn reckons James Carr's version is the one

Gram!

@ John Parson's version is still haunting. I think Parsons and Gregg Allman had a lot of parallels in their personal lives. Both were tortured souls, fortunately Gregg found a way to cope.

Still do. That poor troubled soul with a terrible childhood that many people never seemed to really acknowledge. I think he wanted to die and subconsciously worked on it with an excess of drugs. Went to the Joshua Tree Inn about 15 years ago and I think the manager took pity on me and my friend and let us come in and look around. I couldn’t go into Gram’s room at the end. I bought some T-shirts that more or less came to the price of a night’s stay there to thank the young manager and his wife for letting us look around. The manager told us that Emmylou comes regularly with her dog and stays in the room next to his.

@@TheFruitloop186 I sometimes wonder if Greg did find a way to cope. In interviews after he sobered up he would always steer away from discussing the many deaths that happened in his early life and said he wanted to concentrate on the good stuff. But if you don’t really deal with the bad stuff you cannot heal. I read his autobiography and loved it.

@@lindajones8101 Gram was already gone when I first heard him and learned about who he was I used to keep copays of his trilogy set to give away and inlighten others I'm an Old Desert Rat I've partied in Joshua tree It was on way home Lived in 1000 Palms Worked in Bermuda dunes Emmylou Harris has hung out with the Greats I'm a Big Traveling Wilburys Fan too Another unknown to too many

@@johnhuggins3684 So great to know that you’re from that area. I’ve heard about 1000 Palms and isn,t the highway (62.) called that for part of the way?I am 69 this year and Gram was also gone before I heard about him. My friends in the 1970s raved about him but I only knew the song Sin City since a lot of bands who then begin to be into the country rock scene of the 70s played it in my town in southeastern Ontario, Canada. I liked his singing and the sound, the raw sound, of the Flying Burrito Brothers better than the stuff that Gram did with Emmylou. I did like the songs that he wrote and sang on his last two albums but not the way he seemed to be going pure country on the other songs with Emmylou as his basically back up singer on the two solo LPs. Every song that she does since he died has been about him, even most of her covers. I have only ever read two articles in which British print journalist interviewed her and she told them more than she’s ever said anything in the US. She told one of them that she finally admitted to herself that she loved Graham, although publicly she always maintains this thing about him being her mentor in music and him helping her find her voice. She told that British print journalist that she had decided that when he sent for her Outwest to start the tour for his second solo album she was going to tell him then because he would only be in about three weeks and therefore why tell him over the phone when she could do it in person. Then, she said, she got the call that he had died. But, I digress.

The flying burrito Brothers, who do a lovely country rock version. Also, Linda Ronstadt.

Yesterday

James Carr, Ry Cooder.

I liked James cars version but when I heard Dan Penn sing it I really loved his phrasing and the country-blues style. It’s hard to find online. I believe I found it once and could never find it again.

Sorry for my mini bloopers that I am addicted to my dictation service and if I don’t proof, there are they are!

Except Linda.

+James Smith This song belongs to James Carr.....haven't heard a version that comes close!

James Carr's signaturesong!

James Carr has the definitive version.

I love this song written by songwriters Dan Penn and Chips Moman and Carr's original is till my favorite. Huge ABB fan and this is a great version too. Other fave covers Aretha Franklin, Ry Cooder/Terry Evans, Clarence Carter, Flying Burrito Brothers.

​@@commentatingillustrating6165 Yes I agree, but the song is true and all covers are good.

You should listen to Ry Cooders' cover!

I have always loved Linda Ronstadt especially in the 70s when she was the queen of country rock. Although, she has said since that she hated trying to sing rock songs and be heard over the wailing guitars because she is basically a balladeer. So I loved her version because it was the first one I heard but when I heard the others I liked them better. But she has a great voice that others have said was fully developed when she began singing.

@@robertleblanc2996 I think I have seen it on KZfaq but doesn’t he have a lot of help in the singing department from those three wonderful black men who did travel or used to travel with him. The only time I saw him was in Toronto and John Hiatt whom I also like but whom I had never heard of until that day was singing along with him and did a few of his own songs. I was really focussed on John Hiatt. But I believe at that time Ry only had two of the black singers, one with a deep bass voice, perhaps Willie Johnson, and the other with the falsetto.

TG Linda Rhonstadt recorded this song. and greatfully, is still with us.

@ TG ,,, Not everyone who recorded this song is dead. Linda Rhonstadt did a great cover and she's still with us.

Not Linda Ronstadt!!!
