You want tasteful music drenched in soul? Call Jack Pearson. Thank you for posting this gem. Such a great song delivered to us by such a great artist. So poignant.

II used to listen this by Brook Benton when I was in Viet Nam. I never understood the song until 9/11 happened. Three days after 9/11 happened I was at the LA. County and a singer at the kareoke both was singing the song with his eyes closed. I was crying like a baby. Then I understood the meaning of the song fifty some years after I heard it in Viet Nam for the first time.

I've only heard Randy Crawford sing this song but this craftsman reinforces what a beautiful song Tony has written.

Thank you. Jack Pearson is a wonderful musician.

[@craigstewartmusic]

Agreed. Was actually learning this song myself over the past couple of days and just came across this version. Seamless, great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@wtsgnon]

So beautiful.WOW!I think he is tuned 1 half step down from standard and playing it 1 whole step above the Benton version.

Mr Pearson ( I say out of respect) let me add my name to what should be a rapidly growing list of those that approve of your interpetation of Tony Joe White's underrated classic!

Wonderful Jack! Such a pleasure to have met you last summer in Memphis at Tommy's guitar camp. Came across this track here on KZbin today totally by accident. So glad that I did.

What tuning/chords? ❤ Please help decode

[@dong4176]

Man I would love to see one done for Chuck Loeb🤔

[@regunter6599]

I have to say Jack Pearson made the song his, it is entirely different than the way Tony Joe White did it. It is different than Brook Benton too, that is the way it should be, it is soulful and if all you can do is copy it exactly then that is okay but this is just different.
