Nice cover. I still remember when The New Rotary Connection did this in 1971. I miss Charles Stepney (producer, and genius producer of EWF until his untimely death, shortly afterwards) and I really miss my girl, Minnie Riperton, one of the band members. This song really is THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING.

I was today years old 56 in December, when I found out this was a remix from 1971. I was 3 or 4 and it all makes sense why I fell in love with this and the "original" remixes. This D&B version is great and the other Nuyorican version is the one that brought tears. It is more gospel...GOD/DESS spell.
