  3. @DoctorMad Even better, there is also this live video of O.V.Wright, filmed for a Japanese TV show in 1979, a year before his death. The technical quality is poor, and it seems that he was not in good health, but the performance is absolutely mesmerising.

    O.V. Wright: "God Blessed Our Love / When A Man Loves A Woman" (1979)

    Bobby Bland once mentioned in an interview that he used to request the studio version of this medley from radio stations. He was a fan, too.
