Listening to this in 2024 jst blessed my ears fr

[@jerryhayward10]

These kids today don't even have a clue on how great this music was. All us baby boomers have is the memories. I will say this again and again the 60's was the best area of music period.

[@kumaguy6115]

Just heard this song (after so many years) in the closing scene and credits of a Japanese series playing on Netflix (House of Ninjas). Great music never dies. It travels all over the world and finds its place in the most surprising places!

[@denisecox6423]

I feel sorry for the new and young generation that will never know the sound that we grew up with and loved.

[@GEMINI_THE_BES89]

Thank you

[@BigBlackRod]

Why? They have their music; let us have ours. As they get older, they'll find it soon enough...

[@DearDiaryItsBee]

A girl is actually making it famous again ❤️❤️

[@sharonrobertson6622]

I agree Denise. The lyrics had meaning to them. Although the younger generation might too but not about violence. Great songs.

[@wendystewart1867]

Absolutely agree

[@LupeTagle]

Our music was about love.This song describes my love of my life I lost him to COVID. We were together 63 years. We grew old together. I feel sad for the new generation.❤

[@Bear-Ur2ez]

Im listening to her amazing voice in sept.2024 . I fell in love with her voice and this song back in the 60's and went through several records listening to it .

[@sandrascurlock1532]

I sung this song in one of the clubs on a cruise to the Bahamas. My beloved who has gone home to be with God had never heard me sing & couldn’t stop smiling when he found out that I could sing. He told everyone he came in contact with how amazed he was that I could sing & how heartfelt it was for me to dedicate this song to him.. Rest in perfect peace my beloved..I will missed & love you always & forever🙏🏾♥️

Sorry for your loss. PEACE.

I fell in love with Carla Thomas the very first time I heard that voice. She is just plain sensational.

[@valendanewell5901]

This lady can out right SING...you can’t buy this voice,...it’s a gift from the DIVINE...Carla was not celebrated enough in the music industry....GREAT GREAT VOCALIST!!💯🎤

[@grahamshepherd2306]

Absolutely Valenda!

[@lewiethomas3089]

Totally agree...she is stunning

[@austinteutsch]

Soo right. Talk about perfect delivery!!!! And she is so fine, too.

[@clairemorrisdobie9977]

I LOVE, LOVE this song by Carla as only Carla can sing it. It reminds me of really true, young love--the hurting kind. The healing kind. The gentle, caring kind. The fun kind. She sings it with such passion. She has improved an already impeccable unique voice, if that is possible. Audience was weak. They should have been doing a standing ovation on the first big ending.

[@austinteutsch]

Benedette Peters does a fine job on this song, but since she's a liberal with hate in her heart, that kills it.

[@mimi50001]

She has such a sweet voice and rightly so underrated.

[@RickMyers-r2y]

Her voice makes me cry it’s so pure. Daughter of the great Rufus Thomas. They’re ’walk-in the dog’ together in heaven

[@USMColdies]

What the freaking H, I was blown away by her live vocals, miss those days when entertainers could actually sing. This generation could learn a thing or 2

[@aliwehr]

All the floozies popular right now can take a million lessons from this lady. Great voice, great song and no bs. Awesome!

I sung this song at my school talent show, I got a standing ovation! Everyone said that I sounded just like Carla Thomas. She was my biggest fan then, and she still is. I wish they would bring songs like this again
