As someone who grew up with Marvin's original of this, I'm sure he's smiling and so glad you're carrying the spirit on,

Miss Elbert, I discovered you at the Emily D show of Hope Spalding.
I was happy to find this page on Youtube.
I loved your voice and your style of singing.

Such an awesome interpretation. Loving these songs about healing, this and your original. It would be great to hear you do We Won't Move by Arlissa from The Hate U Give.

[lueant]

Oh heart be still... you chase the blues away baby.... nod of respect.

[patjones]

Would be interesting to hear you cover Midnight at the Oasis. You're awesome!
