There's a good reason this sounds very gospel-tinged. It was first done in 1964 by Solomon Burke, who did a little preaching on the side in addition to R&B music. This riff was played in church as the collection plates were passed around at his services. Wilson Pickett, a fan of Burke's, then covered the song as did the Blues Brothers in their first movie while it played over the closing credits.
