It gives me a warm feeling knowing Van the Man thought highly enough of this song to play it live back in '72.  |
Judging by the video's title, it was a demo for Jackie DeShannon.
Here's her version - apparently recorded for her 1972 album Jackie (thought not included) which doesn't feature Morrison but does have a cover of one of his songs (I Wanna Roo You) and was released on Atlantic and produced by Jerry Wexler, Arif Mardin and Tom Dowd. Wexler in particular was famous for what he brought to Aretha Franklin's sound - the influence of Respect on the original Bare Trees version is unmissable.
