Well, there's the original version that Toussaint doesn't sing on, but he did play piano (and produced) his composition that was first released by Frankie Miller in '74. The Miller version is fantastic and is clearly the inspiration behind Garcia's own version on Reflections in 76.

The "Hughes Corporation" has their version from 1974. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZjJfKqkptKKd5o

This guy didn't write this song Jerry Garcia did. The music industry fucked him.

[@gmur1]

OK

Yes, Allen Toussaint did write it. Jerry credits him on the recording (Reflections).
