Mine too. Beautiful song. "I think the Lord done given me strength now". Perfect balance of Sugarfoot's rough baritone and William's backing falsetto in with those strings? Can't play with that.

Great song, wouldn't call it beautiful, more like bootyful. Straight funk ballad just like Bootsy's I Rather Be With You

Another great cut that bit from this is The Commodores's "This Is Your Life".
And another late 70's smash that owes quite a bit to this, Switch's "I'll Call Your Name". Listen to those strings. The concept, musically is straight OP.
