A weak Dickie Betts tune written at a time when this bar fighter R&B band decided it needed to get behind the peace-love-Bobby Sherman thing.  Betts has written better than this drunk.

One of the advantages to age is realizing that yes, albums released the year I was born can be totally awesome. {#Dancingbanana}

I'm trying to "feel it" but I'm not seeing love everywhere. Maybe I'm a cynic...

Timeless. Just some 40+ yesterday's jumped in a buddy's Pontiac and drove to Cleveland for a last weeekend of freeedom fling before another buddy went and joined the Jesuits. One of the activities in that beer and smoke filled weekend was seeing these guys in a concert under a huge tent. Awesome concert, great weekend, wonderful memories...

You're kidding, TIC, right? The form is a good ol' time gospel, Bible thumpin' tent revival—an American (mostly Southern) Christian invention and convention. Gee whiz, the name of the song is "Revival," a clue, yes?

Hmmm, I think I'll give that a try.

Love this song today just as much as I did 40 years ago nearly to the day when I first heard it. Fall quarter at good old F.I.T., Melbourne, Fla.

I can understand your misinterpretation, since this album was released in 1970, before you were born.  This is the quintessetial "flower power" claim that love is enough to make everything good.  Kind of like the similar claim from Liverpool:  "All you need is love." 

I think the Allmans believed in mushrooms a lot more than they believed in Christ.
 
How sad for them.

How did Allan Woody (the bassplayer) die? Does anyone know?
 
From Wikipedia, the undisputed knower of all things:

Allen Woody joined the Allman Brothers Band along with guitarist Warren Haynes upon the group's reunion in 1989. Woody and Haynes formed side project Gov't Mule in 1994 with drummer Matt Abts. The two of them decided to leave the Allman Brothers Band in 1997 to put a full-time effort into Gov't Mule. Woody died in 2000, leaving behind his wife Jenny and daughter Savannah. The cause of his death was a heroin overdose.

Not my favorite version of this song (I think this is on one of the "An Evening With The Allman Brothers" discs — and it absolutely smokes there!) but I still like it anyway. {#Sunny}

My Dad didn't like much my 'our modern  music - he was rooted in Jazz and Swing of the 40s but he liked this track.

He died last week - funeral this Friday

Indeed.  Aretha to the Clash to the Allman Brothers in the same set.  If this keeps up I'll have to declare a holiday since no work will be done.
