There have been lots of covers of "Since I Fell For You" over the years since it was composed by Buddy Johnson in 1945. The versions by Dinah Washington and Lenny Welch are very lovely but for sheer breathtaking soul, power and emotion, this version by Mavis Staples is the best in my opinion. I would go as far as to say that this is one of my favorite female vocal performances of all time. I hope someone out there loves it as much as I do :).

While I love Mavis Staples and this is an amazing version of the track that I have known most of my life. In the 70's the track was also released by Laura Lee on Hot Wax Records and it is a dynamo. Check it out there are a few copies on Youtube. At some point we will make a production of it.9 years ago

I fell for it back in '71 bro. At her best, Mavis was one of the best "soul" female vocalist of all time. IMHO, no one has topped her version of " A House is not a Home"11 years ago
