Come to think of it, I've yet to hear Stevie's version of Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do) hmmm

eek As much as I love Aretha's, Stevie's version is my favorite. It's in my top 20 for sure. That's one of his all-time best vocal performances... can't believe it stayed buried for years. music


I heard it a few months ago and I have to agree. Stevie's version rules. music

What do you think of Tammi Terrell's version? I actually prefer her (unreleased) 1966 version to his, and I like his a lot.

Stevie's is funkier. cool

He wrote it, but I don't think he recorded a version. If so, I'd love to hear it. Along those lines, I much prefer "You Are My Heaven."

Devastating, in more than one sense of the word. If everyone could process their pain so well.
