This is a masterpiece

[@myrnamclaren8049]

Momma used to play this on saturday mornings "1973"

[@myrnamclaren8049]

+greg battles Funny how music becomes you. Thats just putting it mildly. Took it to college many years later. Was able to expound on this classic soul genre.

[@lestershawjr.5568]

played for my mama!!

[@lestershawjr.5568]

Im' mom had me sing it ..lololo//loved it

Something about Joe Simon's voice and songs make me cry... happy tears ❤❤

[@tazzhardwick1316]

That's pure soul Alice.

[@catboyzee]

One of the things I miss the most about the 70s was there were so many male Soul/R&B singers/groups who had their own distinct voice. You could easily distinguish Joe Simon from Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Barry White from Isaac Hayes, Michael Jackson, Al Wilson, Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Teddy P, O'Jays, EWF, Ohio Players, all the Temptations lead singers, Tyrone Davis, Rick James, Billy Paul, the Isley Bros, Stylistics, Manhattans, Lenny Williams, Chi-Lites, Spinners, Frankie Beverly, Bill Withers, etc. I'm sure I missed a couple. But I think you get my point. All of these cats I mentioned had their own vocal sound. Too many of today's popular singers seem to follow the same model, it gets old real quick.

[@myrnamclaren8049]

+catboyzee This new STUFF this age listens to; is quite redundant. I agree the voices and sounds are non-distinct.

[@GeoffLarcom]

+catboyzee Awesome take.

[@johnpickens1143]

You're right, you only missed a few. Ron Isley, Lenny Williams, Tyrone Davis, Wilson, James Brown, etc.., love you, though!

[@spunkybuddy]

James Brown!

[@catboyzee]

I forgot to include two more of my fave Soul Singers, both descend from the Sam Cooke Soul Tree: Johnnie Taylor and Bobby Womack. Love, love, love they way Taylor and Womack sang. Like I said, so many great singers who gave us so much timeless great music.

[@funzo1159]

Why can't music sound like this nowadays?

[@mastermooky]

because the lawyers and business freaks, that also includes some musicians, are dictating what will make money, not make folks groove. the music industry is circling the drain. we can save it by no buying crap and supporting hard working artists who can deliver

[@dolobrolic6066]

Because nowadays sucks!!!

[@blueh9]

It could but the people in charge wouldn't put these people on. Shame.

[@freethevibez]

It can just insert guns drugs and the high end life style and boom

[@davideverett8587]

Retired after 40 years as a DJ on the radio. The last boss was 30 and the music director was 28, they never heard of Simon and don’t care to. My retirement didn’t come a minute too soon.

[@MikeS24-v4s]

They don't make classics like this no more, this is real stuff.

[@jasminewadsworth253]

I love this song reminds me of growing up in the 70" s

[@lisacoleman2657]

Jasmine Wadsworth yep!

[@LA1061]

Indeed it does

[@margaretwrein9606]

There is only Joe Simon.

[@constancesims237]

My grandma had a night club and I remember all of this music. Thanks for the wonderful music and memories. Have a peaceful journey, Joe. I know that he went on to become a minister and no longer wanted to be associated with this music but I still love it. ❤️❤️❤️

[@NinaJones-y6w]

Love his songs all of them

[@sheilapalmer224]

He was the real deal

[@thehuntx]

My grandmother was his #1 fan.

[@nickroschtscha6234]

I must be number 2

[@thejazzman210]

Grown folks music for real.

Hello, Bernice. I came across a video on KZbin about Black musicians who recently passed away, with Joe singing this very song. I’m 42, and it was the first time I ever heard of it. Great song. R.I.P.

[@roderickjones1283]

My step grandmother use to love ol Joe!

[@SIGMAMAN69]

You can actually tell who he is when you hear his voice! You hardly have that in R&B anymore!

[@patkeeler6645]

❤No sad songs l p

[@charlesr833]

This is what it means to sing with soul. Pain & experience is your autotune and filter

I've been down one time...

[@kjsingh8699]

I've been down one time And I've been down two times But now I'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love Let me tell ya all about it I've been out here so very long, I've lost all my direction Baby when you came my way I thought I'd found my protection But a strong wind came into my life, surely took me by surprise And I can't seem to control these tears that's falling from my eyes I've been down one time And I've been down two times But right now I'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love Listen to me Baby I depended on you, for our love and obligation But now you gone and deserted me, can't you see that I'm in desperation I'm in the middle of a bad love storm, ew yeah I just can't let it boy I Looked around and all I could see, was water coming over me I've been down one time And I've been down two times But right now I'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love All I do is cry, all I do is walk around and cry But right now I'm drowning, oh I'm drowning in the sea of love I've been down one time I've been down two times But I can't control myself, I'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love But that's alright, I don't mind drowning for your love That's alright baby, hear me when I say it's alright You got the kind of love that make me feel alright You got the kind of love baby that make me cry all night long You got the kind of love baby make me do things I don't wanna do Songwriters: Kenneth Gamble

[@aaoppe]

Only just discovered this guy through a random playlist on spotify. I usually listen to heavy stuff, but what a voice! Greetings from Norway.

[@jdw99]

+Per Eriksen If you like this guy's voice, check out Bobby "Blue" Bland, he had a similar sound.

[@fluidwings2078]

Per Eriksen check out theme from Cleopatra Jones

[@lionheartroar3104]

God damn great song

Hearing his unique voice stirs up memories of the loved ones I enjoyed this music with.

[@davideverett8587]

What a voice! The Soulful Joe Simon. ♥️ That my friends is great music.

[@cynthiamiller6881]

RIP Joe Simon was my mothers favorite singer.

[@og-greenmachine8623]

Wow! I learned to sing listening to Dude. It LIVES! & I’ll NEVER turn to the poolpit!👺

[@thomastimlin1724]

The conviction of Joe Simon's voice to the emotion is what sold this song. it;s a good song, but he was the frosting on the cake the propelled it Billboard #11 general chart. Back when fewer radio stations made sure people of all backgrounds got to hear music of all kinds in one place rather than separate all of us from each other with millions of specialty stations and tell us (brain wash) what we prefer rather than letting up make up our own minds.

[@charlottesmith6651]

GREAT SONG

[@williemaegolden9150]

Rocking with nothing but pure soul. that's how you do Joe Simon. Let it Roll!!! I feel the heat ! I feel the beat!!!

[@evangelasmith8849]
