Patches.


Tonight's song is 'Patches' as covered by Clarence Carter.
The song was originally recorded by Chairmen of the Board, which was the headlining act for the Invictus/Hot Wax label, who are most well known for their hit 'Give Me Just A Little More Time.' Clarence Carter's cover came out the same year as the Chairmen of the Board's original recording, 1970, but it was Carters version that became a Top 10 hit and received a Grammy in 1971 for Best R&B Song.
Here is Clarence Carter's take on 'Patches':


And, I wish there were a higher quality version of this available, here is reggae band The Rudies take on 'Patches,' also from 1970:
