Johnny Rivers - If I Were A Carpenter

Second song on side two of Johnny's 'Changes' LP

[@jade7602]

For some reason, this song popped into my mind. I'm 69 years old and hadn't thought of Johnny Rivers since the 1970s!

[@direstraights]

Well, I just found that many have sung this including lead singer Led Zeppelin

[@loganmccarrell4504]

Johnny Rivers is Solid Gold and should have been inducted into the Rock an Roll Hall of Fame long ago.

[@ariziocosta7583]

Arizio costa. Curti Johnny

[@mikemagnum7987]

You are 110% correct about that! Its a crime against the arts that he isn't there....

[@duffgordon9005]

WHAT!! He lived too good a life, was humble, but the nail in the coffin was buying his own label, and grabbing the best group and songwriter RIGHT AT THE START, Do you think why he did that, after the label that owned him they were not interested in HIS HAND CRAFTED great - Poor side of Town!! His solid #1!! THey sat on HIS song two years?? JR said, I did not write a lot, but what I wrote was good. Not a "hey got it written in 20 minutes!!" I claim there has never been a more diverse artist EVER in R and R . Goes from "THe Snake to Summer Rain"? From Bob Dylan's favorite of Hey Joe, to Secret Agent man? MY favorite- in Blues, JR really shows where his heart is with LIVE "I put a spell on you" where he finally shows everyone that he is a Guitarist!! SO: JR did only covers- WRONG- but the covers he did, some of the best, JR could not really play guitar- WRONG!!

[@annefischer1433]

can't something be done retro to make this happen getting Johnny into the Hall of Fame??

[@stephenyardley4880]

Seems like a gimme.

[@shirleydunbar1020]

What a wonderful singer, Johnny Rivers could sing anything and it would sound amazing

[@roderoda1758]

Mr. Rivers always poured his soul into all his songs. Unique singer with a unique sound. I agree, he deserves to be in the R&R Hall of Fame.

[@Chatticathi]

Johnny gives this song the emotion it needs...love him and this song

[@oldmanballer5088]

Johnny’s version of this song might just be my favorite!

[@bobh28630]

Really enjoy this pop version but I have to give the nod to Tim Hardin's original for it's stunning depth of feeling. The LP of original material Hardin delivered containing this track is simply staggering. Listen and maybe you'll perhaps you'll discover another wonderful artist of the era. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHe2gKJ3e9JspZYsi=zhZotHdFgAAYcEbO

Estou curtindo esse sucesso ai maravilhoso aqui em Uberlândia MG nesse momento . Será que tem algum brasileiro que curte isso ai até hoje. Se tem parabéns eu curto muito até hoje

[@luizeduardobelardinuci1255]

Assisti ao show do JR em 1996, Parque do Ibirapuera, SP, um dos melhores que eu assisti. Grande JR!

[@mikegibbs3030]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE RIVERS SONGS...

[@pkappel006]

Wow, In MONO tone version, listen to the guitar cords playing in tune! Johnny put his heart & soul into this tune. Such a pretty version along with the Strings playing in the background. We can't go wrong, we are blessed to have Johnny come into our hearts to play his tunes when we were growing up as teenagers back back into the 60's. I believe the 60', best time of all music years

[@duffgordon9005]

that may be the greatest of all! glen Campbell

Um conto de fadas e um carpinteiro, sozinho sem nada ,também sem dinheiro ! O miserável é um gênio!

Vim aqui pq do nada lembrei que aquele brega era baseado nessa música que minha adorava. De cara tem seu comentário, que era a resposta que eu precisava kkkk

He is already Hall and Fame in my book.

[@johnnyramonlongoria58]

Makes you humble to know that someone loves you even if you were not much of a money man. People value the wrong things nowadays.

[@hategreed1]

Let's face it. Tim Hardin wrote such a classic beauty, this was a gift to singers, till the end of time.

[@erikmeyle5989]

Favorite song when drinking

God,..I didnt think anyone could do this but Bobby Darin.I was wrong.Of course,I love Johnny River,but I have never heard him do this before.Wow. Just wow.
