Joe South
(who’s best known for “Games People Play”) wrote this classic, and released it
as a single in 1969. Both the South and Benton versions would fall just short
of the top 40 nationally, but Benton’s gets the edge based on the soul that
Benton brings to the table, plus the great backup vocals (by ???). One of the
best songs ever about the yearning to return to your roots, only to find how
much has changed when you do.
