I have played that track so many times, but it still sends shivers down my spine. Do you recall much of that session, also I have never heard anything else by Ray Gant, do you know what became of him. It would be an absolute travesty if someone possessed of a voice that good never recoded anything else. I also like Maxine Browns very different take on that song, do you know who recorded it first?
