This song slew me in 1970. I was emotionally drained and became an ardent follower of RF permanently. Classical singer of classical songs. Immortal.

I rehab abandoned baby birds and have really felt the "trembling heart of a captive bird" in my hand that stopped suddenly. Playing God in that small way hurt so bad. Lot's of tears hearing the passage in this song!

It's a fact that many black singers started out as Gospel singers. They honed their craft in the church n many bcame fine pop n soul singers.
