Update December
16, 2018:
We received new information from David Hood:
Duane Allman suggested to Percy Sledge to record the Richie
Furay song 'Kind Woman', previously recorded by the Buffalo
Springfield and released on their 1968 album 'Last Time
Around'.
The recording sessions for 'Kind Woman' and 'Woman Of The
Night' took place at Quinvy Studios in Sheffield, AL, but it
was not Duane Allman who played at these sessions, but Eddie
Hinton.

'Woman Of The Night' was first recorded by Percy Sledge'
during a 3-day recording session from April 9-11, 1968 at
Quinvy Studios.
The song was re-recorded during the August 19 & 20, 1968
recording sessions at Quinvy Studios.
On April 7 & 8, 1969 'Kind Woman' was recorded at Quinvy
Studios with David Hood, Barry Beckett, Roger Hawkins, Eddie
Hinton, Marlin Greene, a horn section and the usual 4-girl
back up group.
But, according to the liner notes of this Rhino Handmade

session, the date they also give for the recording of 'Kind
Woman'.
