it's from one of his neglected(?) 1970s albums, and is one of the best soul ballads he or anyone else recorded IMO.

wow. that is sweet.

yeah, covay was one of those guys who navigated a bunch of changes in black music much more successfully (aesthetically if not always commercially) than a lot of his contemporaries.

Picked up the Mercy Mercy comp on Razor and Tie for a couple of bucks the other day. That's some good late afternoon grooves.

Great find. That's the best CD you can get on Covay.

xp to me

for some reason it doesn't show up for me on my computer, but i could see on my phone that the song amateurist shared was "leave him" from the "super dude" LP (just in case the video link ever goes away)
