What Blues song moves you most??

May not be the greatest as in the other thread-but what tune has you overcome with emotion ?
I know I cant listen to these too often as they just hits a nerve--I gotta be in that dark place to absorb it

'Give me one reason', Junior Wells
'It feels so good', Pinetop Perkins (makes me happy...)
'My man', Billie Holiday (1937) Maybe it's a hybrid, but she's got blues in her voice.

'It hurts me too' always reminds me of the time my then almost-3-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer. Actually it reminds me of the week before, when I was a couple thousand miles from home, in a hotel room, and trying to calm my mind as my wife was telling me about what happened when she took our child to the doctor. I had a harmonica and I sat out on the balcony, quietly playing that song to give my mind something to do. It actually worked pretty well and Im fond of the song, but it always conjures a strong emotional response in me.
My daughter is 19 now, btw. She was given the 'all clear' a few years ago.

Love Nina Simone. Angry Blues and she could really hammer the keys. Always wanted to give her a big hug so I guess I was moved.

This is one by Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry tho I don't believe it's the version that grabbed me. I'm recalling a slower tempo.

Roy Buchanan and Steve Cropper trading telecaster solos. Two beers, a comfy chair, a good set of headphones and you can have an out of body blues experience!
