I saw Soul Power this week, the forthcoming documentary about the epic 1974 R&B concert that was mounted in conjunction with the Muhammad Ali-George Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle" title bout in Zaire. The James Brown stuff is amazing in the movie, not a big surprise, but another clear highlight is Bill Withers doing a pretty stunning acoustic version of "Hope She'll Be Happier."
I tried to find anything remotely comparable online, and this is the closest I got. The strings might be a bit much, but the emotion comes through all the same.
