All the old Soul stuff brought this one to mind:

Billy Paul -- Me and Mrs Jones

 

[Bigboote]

Stevie Wonder -- I Never dreamed you'd leave in summer .

Where I'm Coming From was a bit of a transition album -- it was the last under his original contract with Tamla, and came our around the same time as What's Going On. He was fighting for full creative control, and he got a little, so it sounds different from his earlier albums. There are some topical songs and some where he plays all the instruments, but most are still love songs with strings and/or horns, like this one, which is wonderful. It was made popular by Joan Baez. Steve had a hit with If You Really Love Me.
