I had to share this one...
This lady is 74 years old and killing it!!!

Lord, Lord Lord Lady, lady, lady, I was about 11 years old and Even until this day no other song has touched the core of my emotions like her version of this song.

Soulful tune, captivating and wholly symptomatic of the ghettos scattered all over the uncaring world;more the sorrow?!

Great massage! Timeless treasure!!

I love how Candi Saton sings this with such passion and emotion.

[@127CLOTHING]

I just found this 45 in my stack today.. so timely.

[@MrStanleyMilton]

Her voice slays me.

[@thejimm2009]

One of my favorite songs. Candi sings it with such passion. I've never lived in The Ghetto...but I have lived in "The Projects". It's a reality, and Candi is telling it the way it is. Take it from someone who has seen violence and death first hand. No, it ain't pretty...but it's real.

Beautiful... and I love the picture of Elvis on the wall.

I have no idea why I searched for this song tonight, but so glad I did. I feel like I found a whole new version, she re-owned this song.

Loved the story of how they wanted her husband to sing this. He wasn’t there, so she sang it.

[@pontiacgrandprix733]

She will always be my girl, she's a victim

[@PRODUCEDBYKEV]

For years I thought this was the original.

[@sportsglobally146]

The song was written by Mac Davis first sang by Elvis Presley

[@TheRealCaptainFreedom]

Not as good as Cartman.
