Released by Koko Records in 1972, (If Loving You is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right scored Luther Ingram a Number One hit on the R&B charts.
The live clip of Luther Ingram is from Mel Stuart's concert documentary film Wattstax. The 1972 Wattstax concert was held at the LA Coliseum seven years after the Watts riots. To encourage attendance tickets were sold for a dollar each. Ingram's epic performance is nestled between Rufus Thomas leading the crowd in a mass Funky Chicken and Isaac Hayes laying down the Theme From Shaft.
