i'm 77 and my music is late 50's and early 60's rock and roll. imho it is the best music around. this song comes from that era ( sam cooke ) i have heard many versions and none are bad. great music does that. i saw presley in buffalo in 72, now that was a show. for as long as i live i will always love this music.
