Hello Helen,

You are such a kind soul; and I thank you again for your efforts to assist.

If you were listening to the song at such a distance from the radio that you could not make out the lyrics, you might, I think, mistake it for gospel music.

Unhappily, the melody is no longer clear in the memory and I am unable to recall specific instruments that stood out in the recording.

One more thing: I cannot be sure the female singer was white.
