Nine minutes from question to answer, and one minute more to the second answer, right? Is that some kind of Mudcat record?

One of the lovliest versions I've heard of this song can be found (believe it or not) on a Ike & Tina Turner concert video (sorry, don't recall the actual title) performed by Jackie "Moms" Mabley!
