I dug out an old compilation of 70s soul and funk this week and it had this on it - perhaps the best known song from Syl Johnson. Recorded in 1969, it inspired Willie Mitchell to sign Johnson to Hi Records, where he provided a rawer counterpoint to Al Green's smooth stylings. Unfortunately at the time smooth sold, and Al Green got the success whereas Syl Johnson didn't and despite some well received albums he retired in 1982.
