Thanks for honoring Benjamin Franklin Peay known to the world as Brook Benton by sharing a very moving song which like all great songs transcends time SGT John " Mac " McConnell. Rainy Night in Georgia came out in 1970 and seemed to bridge the Motown sound of the 1960s with American folk rock in a winsome way.
