I recently heard 'Take It Home' by B.B. King, an album that he did with The Crusaders in the late 70's. The Jazz Crusaders [[same group, I think?) did Way Back Home in 1970, on Chisa [[distributed by Motown).
They sound like the exact same song, just with the lyrics changed! I don't have the B.B. King album but I wonder if the original songwriters were credited [[W. Felder, J. Bristol, G. Knight).
You can listen to a sound clip of Take It Home here: http://www.amazon.com/Take-Home-B-B-King/dp/B0000062Y6
