Brook Benton was a R&B, soul, gospel, and rock'n'roll (and disco) artist who wrote songs for Nat King Cole and others, and had a total of 49 Billboard chart hits, some of which you might have heard, like his most famous one, 'Rainy Night in Georgia'.

What I'm posting is not one of those hits, nevertheless it's one of my favorites. It's a cover of a song you've heard a trillion times before, but maybe not this version. The lush production was a standard for him, and his rich voice, the tremolo strings, the groove, the horns...it all makes you feel good.
