"I once was blind, now I can see, you made a believer out of me" also, interestingly enough, happens to be the chorus of a pretty killer funk, soul track also from 1969 by Ruby Andrews. It seems to have gone unremarked on the internets (or so unsuccessful Google searches tell me). I have to give credit to my wife for pointing this one out to me.
No idea if Kings of Leon listened to this either. Weird historical coincidence. Good song, too.
