This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #WhenTimesAreTough. This is the first song that came into my mind:

Clarence Carter: Patches (1970)

The song had been written by General Johnson and Ron Dunbar, and it had been originally recorded by Johnson's group, the Chairmen of the Board. But it was Clarence Carter's superior version that became a major hit, peaking at #4 on the Billboard pop chart.
