    Your reaction when you recognized the song & the nostalgia you have for the music of your grandparent’s day brought tears to my eyes. I’m probably about 30 years older than you & the same thing happens to me when I hear music from my parent’s era. So good! 😊

    My 15 year old aunty used me as an excuse to meet her friends and pushed me in my pram the 1.5 miles to meet her friends outside the cavern club to hear the Beatles before they where famous so I have heard the Beatles play when I started clubbing it was Liverpool soul and jazz funk clubs and even Wigan pier. Saw my favourite earth wind and fire in 70s and 25 years later, stevie wonder, diane Ross. Bob Marley. I’ve been to concerts in Stately homes to listen to hans water music Beethoven. [ I married a manc, so to foreigners check football rivalry] and took my wife who loves simply red for his final tour [it turned not to be ] his last night was in Manchester and he mention so many times how he had played in Liverpool but hated scousers and was glad to be back home. I felt I was the only scouser and it hurts me to say but what a fantastic voice and what a concert although afterward my wife thinks Beyoncé was her favourite. Me I’m looking forward to going to the cinema to watch bob marley. Music feeds the soul if one exists.

      @@smedleybutler1969 A good cover yes. IMO it's hard to do a bad cover of this song. The truth remains that Teddy Pendergrass' voice was a rare one, and he gives a much more passionate take in the original. Whereas Hucknall's voice is not, and his performance hasn't near the passion. There is Teddy's version and then there is everyone else.
