What an awesome gem. Now this is what you call real singing. Sing on Nights

[@laurahines6003]

[@Xanatos_Gambit]

Each and every time I listen to this track, I'm transported instantly to my childhood. I'm reminded of the many drunken nights my mother spent holding back tears, listening to her collection of psychedelic and soul 45s; this song in particular forces me into an unshakable weeping spell. It's a powerful, emotionally affecting track but I still love it due to the incredible harmonizing and terrific instrumentation throughout. It also reminds me of an unrequited love I'm just now getting over.

[@robertleonard313]

One of my favorite songs

[@israelready1033]

My dad and his group recorded this album be for I was born now I know where all me and my siblings talent comes from..I love you daddy..aka. Mr. Dennis Hagood

[@MrLv33]

Mr.Johnson, Sir that is a song that only atrue man that loves the woman he is with can undrestand its meaning. I was 16 when I found that woman. I knew it because 16 yours later I still felt the hurt I felt the night I lost the girl I was with. Sence then, it has become the depth I will never allow a woman to effect me. Meanning, I LOVE MY QUEEN to the point of submiting to her. After feeling she is that queen. Meaning NO out side games. IF you LOVE her. She will love you.

Walter Johnson...for me...in 1976 I was listening to the'black Rock of the great East Coast' AM 1430 WNJR (Newark, N.J.). That was the ONLY station in this Metropolitan New York Area who played this gem at all. NOT KISS-FM, NOT WBLS-FM and NOT WLIB-AM. Got to learn also, that the Nights hailed from Newark, NJ.
