Musical palate cleanser, pure soul edition

I’m not through with my R&B kick just yet and today’s offering is special.  “I Can’t Stand The Rain” was Ann Peebles’ biggest hit for Stax (okay, technically Willie Mitchell’s Hi Records), but I’m not playing the original single today.  Instead, you get a remarkable stripped down version that oozes pain and loss in every note.

My Gawd, that’s just something else.
