Rev. Mitty Collier. Bumped into her about a year ago. She's got a church somewhere on the southside of Chicago. She was lookin' GOOOD! But then again....I'm pretty old too.

[@pennridgeboy]

I'm just a white dude from the Pittsburgh suburbs but me and the fellas wore the grooves off this one back in the day. Sir Walter , Hal Brown and the DJ's on WAMO made sure that Mittie Collier got plenty of play!

[@jpj50]

I met Mitty at WLAC radio, on the John R program. when I was about 12. Such a wonderful lady. I will never forget, she was hugging me and telling me I was her boyfriend. She said, you are so handsome, you are my new boyfriend. But look now, If Joe Simon comes in, I have to let you go and laughed. Great voice, Great song! Love this lady

[@traceygraham3848]

I love this song, but especially so because mitty collier has such a soulful amazing voice

[@tumarahyoung300]

This song is the shit for real! Wish a man could still reassure his woman like way back when

[@frankterry5704]

Only just discover Mitty Collier last Saturday night on the radio driving Home through the New Forest in UK... Her voice... the band... the arrangement's... out of this world... I think she ranks up there in the best top female artist in the world... how did she slip through the net??? If she had only toured in the UK I'm sure She would have made it here then been notice back in the States... Frank Terry UK

[@fredbloggs6080]

Well, Dusty Springfield took note of her because she released a cover herself in 1965. I just discovered an unpublished alternative take that sounds better because it has less post processing and her voice sounds more natural. The title is: Dusty Springfield - I Had A Talk With My Man Last Night. 1965 Alternate take That being said, although I love Dusty Springfield, I think Mitty Collier's version is better.

[@marybuckson1060]

MY MOTHER USE TO SING THIS SONG ALL OF THE TIME ONE OF HER ALL TIME FAVORITE AND MOMMA COULD SANG TRUST ME 🎤🎶🎼

[@tonywaldon7801]

She's still alive and living in Birmingham Alabama USA. She's a minister now

[@taildragger53]

Killer song done by the gorgeous Mitty Collier. What a voice! It has stood the test of time.

[@dancingbear86]

Amazing singer & song! Mitty is originally from Birmingham, Alabama, which is my home state & she should be inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame ( if she hasn't been inducted already). She and Alabama deserves this honor for recognizition of such an awesome vocalist!

[@dixierobinson3955]

I loved those Birmingham, Alabama people who lived in Harlem, N.Y. I agree with you, Jeff H

[@SuperMusicWorld1]

It was a blessing to be around during that time frame, there was so much talent back then. those were the love days. wish they were here again.

[@karlstoessel4435]

Mitty Collier OWNS this song

[@xunclexx]

Passing by the old Chess Record building on 21st and S. Michigan, I thought about Mitty Colliers "I Had A Talk With My Man". I heard it for the first time while visiting my cousins in Chicago back in 1964. I remember hearing it quite a bit at house parties back home in Detroit soon after. Man, what a song.

[@dancingbear86]

Amazing song by an amazing and gifted singer! It's a crying shame that this fab song and lots of other songs by Mitty and other artists sadly "slipped through the cracks" and didn't become the big hits they should have been.

[@feltonanderson1768]

That's when life was so simple love that song

[@febularpinder3096]

One of my favorite songs 🎵 by her😊

[@solemandd67]

Hello Schokg02, From the depths of my soul, I thank you for transporting me back to a precious time with my mother. I was born in '64. It was just the two of us. She divorced my dad when I turned a year old. I remember a lot of music coming from our long, Sears Silvertone, Danish modern, console stereo with a, large, single ceramic lamp a top of it, as I was growing up. Evenings spent guiding one of my toy cars along out lavender sculptured carpet and she cooked dinner in the kitchen, after work and picking me up from daycare. It fascinated me to watch her lift the center lid, turn on the "box", as they were called, place a 45 with spacer on the turntable and listen to the wonderful sounds coming out of both speakers at each end. Although I inherited everything when she passed in '12, our stereo was stored in the garage and unfortunately was too weathered to restore. Thank God I still have this 45. Its one of the earliest songs I remember her playing. You brought that innocent time back to me and God Bless You for doing so.

[@cainwilliamson555]

YOUR MOM WE LOVE HER AND YOU!

[@TheDaviddorita]

this song came out around 1965, a girl in jr high school sang it in a talent show and it brought down the house thank you for posting this for us old fuddy duddy's

[@myboylollipop09]

Imagine its the mid 60s you turn on the radio and songs like this are playing. I can see my mom cleaning the house or doing the laundry and just enjoying the music. Somehow it doesn't feel the same today when I turn on the radio. But man when I get out the oldies and start playing the old songs my neighbors come out of the wood work and yell hey Dan turn that up! I doubt if most of todays music will stand up like this great performance by Miss Mitty Collier..

[@debrapierce6952]

You are so right! Music 🎶 is not the same for me anymore. I still listen to my Oldies but Goodies! Mitty Collier's voice is amazing and every time I hear this song it takes me back to the days of my youth when life was so simple and music was full of love ❤️

Ms Collier I have to say this song is absolutely fantastic. I was a kid in the 60s when this song came out and my mom, the queen of music in our household bought the record and played and had neighbors in our building loving it. I believe we saw you on a show on TV singing this song back in the day. I can't remember what show it was but I live in CT so I do remember. Keep on singing.
