This R&B classic works so well you just might be amazed. It is voiced for solo-SATB. (If you have an alto ((or soprano)) with a deep rich tone, you've found your lead vocalist).
This arrangement combines the best of Carole King's words with the soul of Aretha. Since this is more of an R&B groove you won't hear the dissonance and syncopation used for many of the jazz choral tunes you'll find here, but it is not short on feeling (especially with a soulful lead). It is an easy piece to perform and should be well received (especially by the Baby Boomers). Just don't move it too fast.
