@prunellafenton7106

I love this cover by Ruby and her band, I too listened to this record at many a party! This song was originally sung by the Staples Singers and was a freedom song, sung during the time of Dr Martin Luther King .... I still listen to both renditions, the gritty sound of singer Mavis Staple and her father Pops Staple on guitar with her brothers and sisters as background singers gospel soul, to Ruby Turner smooth RnB sound .... thank you to all
