That is, when Burke sings "[There's a song I sing, and I believe] If everybody was to sing this song, it could save the whole world." In 1997, Burke recalled: "When I did it for Jerry Wexler and Bert Burns (sic), they told me that song would never make it. I said, 'Well, I tell ya what—I'll give you a piece of it.' They said, 'That's the way we'll get the record played, so we'll take a piece of it.' In those days, they took a piece of your songs—a piece of the publishing—but in the end, you didn't have any pieces left. Even now, I'm still struggling to get the publishing, the royalties, and that'll never happen." Jerry Wexler maintained in 2002: "I know Solomon is upset about that, and I wrote him a long letter explaining how we wrote the song together and that he has always gotten his share of the royalties. I know that because I get royalty checks for the song. The whole process of making a record is a collaborative affair and the issue of who does just what on a song sometimes gets confusing, but not on that song. We wrote it in Bert's apartment. Bert had a guitar and we wrote it together." Burke's version, while later ranked #429 on the "Rolling Stone" magazine's 2004 list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and ranked #447 in Dave Marsh's book, "In The Heart of Rock & Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made", which was released in July 1964, and was in the US Pop Charts for 8 weeks, but only reached #58. Burke made an appearance to sing the song during The Rolling Stones 2002-2003 tour, singing the song, which was included in the Stones' 2004 live album "Live Licks". It was also performed live by The Shadows of Knight, included on their LP "The Shadows Of Knight – Live 1966". In addition, a live version was part of the soundtrack album for the 1980 "Blues Brothers" movie.
