My version of the Sam Cooke classic. I believe in it, the words, the universal need and gravity of the meaning, I hope with my voice and my saxophone expressing the song, that you feel how much this means to me. I have wanted to try for many years, afraid of not being able to do this immortal song of hope well-enough to present to the world. I'm coming closer to my own Spirituality, in accepting what I cannot change, and letting God do the heavy lifting in my career and my life. I performed this at a Women's Spiritual retreat and it was the most amazing experience I've had so far. I want more of it. I humbly submit this effort to you. I hope you like it. <3 Ava
