Doesn't sound anything like the Allman Brothers which is also a cover itself.
Song was written in 1928 by 'Blind Willie Mctell.

Here's two, both covers of Dionne Warwick songs.
There are many covers of her many songs, but I think these two do justice to the originals.
The first at a time when the Brit girls, Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield, and Sandie Shaw were robbing all Warwick's songs.
Dusty Springfield just adds that crisp/pep to 'Wishin and Hoping'.
Second one, a bit later, Aretha Franklin puts her stamp on 'Say a little prayer'.
