Is this a concert or a TV show? I know George Benson 1st recorded this for a Muhammad Ali movie where he (Ali) plays himself. Michael Masser produced both George's and the later Whitney Houston remake.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

It looked more like a TV special for a concert she did in Paris.

Thanks for this post, T, but not even Aretha can save this song for me. (It was real nice that it was not that other chick singing it, though)

Here is a classic in that vein that I would LLLove to hear Aretha sing.
