Whoever left the Windows XP sound in at 0:18 is a legend

Most sampled riff ever

This brilliant soul song brings back great memories of 1968 when I was 14 and at Centre 3 youth club disco. Still sounding great.

You know your music is good when so many future musicians want to sample it.

I turned 13 (an early teenager) in Oct 1968 and this beautiful song by Judy and William will always be part of that change that was happenning in me. I love soul music its so uplifting.

William Bell NEVER gets the credit he deserves, he is one of the best!!!!!

God , you forget how bloody great this era was for music. These two though....different level completely!

This was released in 1968 and I have still got the single.Great year for music and a great time to be alive.

The Windows error was one the original record. Booker T. Jones was surfing the net on his laptop....

A time when soul music had beautiful melody. Memories of the latter half of '68 coming flooding back.

So this is where my search leads me to...the origin of the music that got me hooked from Pretty Lights - Finally Moving, Nightmares on Wax - You Wish and Rappin 4Tay - Playas Club....Can't hate in the least.

Just perfect ❤

1968, I'm 15 years and in love with the world.

Never forgotten this great duet. Only trouble with it is that it's not long enough!

This is a great song . I was only 8 years old when it was released. Now I am 54, and found myself singing it in the car when it was not even playing on the radio. I know it's not the most popular soul song . It was not done by one of the soul llegends, but I believe a lot more people appreciate it than realized.

a hidden gem ❤

This is still the best version of this emotionally charged piece of musical magic.

Saw William Bell in '71 in Wolverhampton. Did a great set and finished with this, brought the house down! Wonderful memories ...

The intro to this is insane and I see why it was sampled. It is crazy to me though that they didn't make a complete song with it. Instead it sounds like the beginning of a completely different song and then they just swap to a different song.

Love that raw Memphis soul sound! Fond memories of late summer, early fall 1968.

Judy clay and William bell what a great number one of my loves of past years that song

What a song. What a duet. Part of my growing up.

This is one of my favs of all time, I'm now 65

a song I NEVER get tired of hearing

So this is where it all started, 47 years old and still one of the catchiest melodies out there that was sampled by many different artists. The good music never dies, and this is a great example of that.

So this is where it all started.... Beautiful.

This classic turned into a hip hop classic. Good music never dies. At the players club. Gyeaaaa

This song is a masterpiece. Judy was an amazing singer, her voice is so powerful with emotions.

my good taste in music brought me here!!!

Wonderful classic I will never forget.

This song just touches a lot of deep spots in the heart.

One of the coolest Duets EVER ...

To the people wondering whether or not this version is the original, look at the record label. The record was produced by the song's main writer along with the song's cowriter on vocals. Hello!

TIMELESS SOUL...PERFECTION IN MOTION! NEED A TIME MACHINE...

beautiful voices both of them, ultimate soul👌

nightmares on wax, you wish... is the best sampled version of this track ever

dizzy wright did a great job with that beat

they're so many songs that use the guitar sample, i was amazed when i figured out!

I was brought here by Pandora, that played me Pretty Lights. I favorited that, then look it up here, was led through several covers and samples, and finally found my way to the original. Glad I made the journey.

Beautiful! Thank you for upload👍👍👌👌

The Best---no other version comes close.They nailed it!

Just learnt to play the opening hook after years of fizzing over the Nightmares on Wax version. The roots of the sample did not disappoint. Thnx for posting.

When I need to tune my soul in ,I come on You tube this is one of my soul faves
