    looking for a rare soul music song from the 1970s

    Hi,
    My name is Ella Neeman and I live in Tel Aviv, Israel.
    I hope you could help me identify a soul music song from the 1970s.
    My father recorded it back in the late 1970s [['76 or '77) from WGOV Valdosta GA radio station when he was a student at The Florida State University in Tallahassee.

    It's a real mystery, neither Shazam nor Soundhound were able to pick it up. Googling the lyrics wasn't any help either, and nothing on Reddit's threads [["tip of my tongue", "name that song", "vinyl collectors", "1970s" etc.).

    Does it ring a bell for you?

    here's the original recording:

    and here's a cleaned version someone sent me:

    Thank you so much!
    Ella

    Your probably right!
    On the 2nd cleaned version you can just pick up a key riff from the record
    "Do It I Said Baby Baby " which threw me.

    On listening over and over it sounds like "Baby Baby Please" Timothy Wilson covered it along with the "New Cymbals" & the Sensations but don't recognise the other?

    This is fun!
