      The lyrics are wrong during the bass solo. David was the bass player's name. Mavis sings Davey not baby Little Davey (cuz he was short) Davey not Lady. Recorded by the Swampers in Muscle Shoals. There's a movie about them, they backed up Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Rolling Stones and had Dwayne Alman living in a tent in the studio parking lot.

No matter your race; freedom, enjoying life is universal. As a kid back in the 70’s I do remember the good times and coming together in the neighborhood. What a classic by a classy music loving family. Peace out ✌️

    this is a timeless super special song in the very rare category of an anthem ,a prophetic anthem and declaration of galvanizing people to rise up and go to a new place of freedom and the incredible feeling of a win . here it's being used for the struggle of civil rights .but it's applicable anywhere,where people want to breakout of the limiting prisons' they become conscious of themselves being in.and are asking themselves "can i break out of here and go to a better place " it's an invitation shout "yes" ,and says you can because" I KNOW A PLACE " . . it's an invitation to move into Hope,faith and ACTION. " IT"S INSPIRED" i bet this song was born out of heaps of prayer .

    This song is from way before my time, I first knew it from the enterprise rental car commercials in the 90s. I don't think I ever truly gave it a listen until my late 20s but wow there really is something magical, comforting and uplifting about this song. It's so simple and yet every part of it is executed so perfectly and joyfully, the older I get the more I appreciate it.

    I became aware of Mavis from seeing her in The Last Waltz. The power in her voice (like an idling muscle car..you hear the power right away) but what blew me away was her phrasing on the verse of The Weight she sang. So I got myself somewhat familiar. This is IMO one of the sexiest vocal performances ever. People told me it's natural, not trying to do it, as they're gospel. I didn't argue but my mind was calling BS. Why during the guitar solo is she saying Daddy, daddy... I later found out that her actual father was the guitarist for the Staples 🤣😂

    Great song! Number one on the Top 40 billboard charts 50 years ago today on Saturday, June 3, 1972. Half-century ago the summer of '72 became a happy-go-lucky time for a 6 year-old like me. What a fun summer 1972 was.
