Indie film needs an original r&b song like James Carr, Major Lance or similar

Details:

INDEPENDENT FILM (U.S.)
SEEKING: An original R&B/soul song delivered in the classic male vocal style way. Think James Carr/Major Lance/Tyrone Davis and that kind of style and delivery. Those singers would date this particular cue so looking for a young talent that exemplifies that style and vocal delivery. Lyrics about a 20 something black guy who is always trying to do the right thing but always fails until... Deliver a well-told tale with an interesting denouement. MUST include lyric sheet.
