Very beautiful interpretation of the original song that was sung by Gladys Knight. You guys are Great !!! Its a shame that someone over seas appreciates this kind of music more than where it was produced.

As stated, Curtis wrote and first performed this song. This version is a merger of the original and the Gladys Knight version, along with a solo part Vince added. Curtis’s version is untouchable, but Gladys’s cover is great too. We tried to pay respect to both versions. Ledisi sounds amazing.

Gladys Knight's version of this song comes from the film "Claudine". Along with other masterpieces of music, all written by wonderful Curtis Mayfield.

I really hate to admit this. But i think I now like ledisis version as much as I love Curtis' original. The merge of Gladys to mayfields version is pure perfection.

Jedes Eurer Videos muß jeden, auch nicht Kunstinteressierten, davon überzeugen, daß GsD ein Teil unserer Steuerabgaben für das Musische investiert wird ❤😍 Weiter so in dieser Qualität und Vielfalt!👍💪✌️ Jeder Ami beneidet uns, denn die haben ja nur ein staatliches Orchester, alles andere wird durch Spenden am Leben erhalten!☝️ Hoffentlich bleibt uns dieser Staatsvorteil noch lange erhalten und wird nicht weggespart 👍
