Of course if you wanna hear the best version, listen to The Impressions.

Sure, D'Angelo is the singer here. But no matter how good he is, Erics voice sounds pretty good, (as a singer, he is somewhat underestimated, I think) and together they sound great. And remember, it's not about competition, it's about how musical you sound. So Clapton is not put to shame here at all, on the contrary, he's right up there, with D'Angelo. Who would have thought this unlikely combination would sound that good?

I almost feel for Clapton here. D'angelo sounds oh so soulful! Beautiful performance by the two of them, regardless.

There is no stopping D'Angelo on this! But give Clapton a break, guys - he did a pretty damn amazing job himself. His falsetto was exact, and wasn't supposed to be powerful like D'Angelo's on this.

Eric Clapton is amazing. & a legend for sure. But vocally, D'Angelo really outshines him here. Amazing tribute nonetheless.

This performance almost left me emotional when I first saw this. The spirit of Curtis Mayfield was definitely on Eric Clapton and the great D'Angelo! Beautiful tribute to Curtis, may GOD rest his soul.

wow, thank you! this is beautiful. but i gotta say, d'angelo's voice puts eric clapton's to shame here. you don't hear enough of that gritty mid-range tone enough outside of church. SO MUCH SOUL, so effortless too and not oversung. should've just let D' sing the whole darn thing (no offense to clapton the legend).
