ATOT to the rescue (help find this song)

[junkiefp]

I'm looking for a video of a performance of a song by an african american artist on youtube. I don't remember the lyrics but its a very sad, deep song . Hes playing a guitar and singing. He was in his 40s. Its not "Born By The River" by Sam Cooke but very close style wise. I had a bad day and now its driving me nuts because I want to find it. Thanks a lot. I know you will get it!

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot?

nope

When you mentioned by the river, Hazard by Richard Marx came to mind. Tho he's not african american so it's not the song you're looking for, but its a nice somber song hope it tides you over till you find what you're looking for.
