That Lucky Old Sun

I discovered this song a while ago after coming across a video of New Orleans singer/guitarist Snooks Eaglin walking Meters' bassist George Porter through a song entitled "Life in the Middle" somewhat unsuccessfully. I searched everywhere for the song to find out who originally wrote it with no luck until noticing a youtube comment that referred to it as "That Lucky Old Sun". After typing that name into the search bar I was bombarded with renditions of the tune by artists that were perfect for loveofmuzik: Aretha Frnaklin, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Jerry Lee Lewis to name a few. It is evidently one of those classic soul songs that everyone wanted a piece of. Here's the video that originally turned me onto the song as well as a link to the Ray Charles' version because the embedding was disabled. Hope you like it as much as I do.
