Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers-Cry To Me

"Recorded during Mudcrutch's last trip to Tulsa, when Denny Cordell exiled them to the Shelter Church studio for six weeks to get used to recording. The Heartbreakers later revived their version of the Soloman Burke tune for the 'No Nukes' concert and album. 'The only time I remember doing it was around the "No Nukes" period," Petty says. 'We might have been playing it onstage. It got put on that "No Nukes" album but we never did it much. I don't even remember if Mudcrutch played it a lot, but I know we recorded it in Tulsa.'
'I think Mudcrutch was a pretty interesting band for a bunch of kids that didn't know what they were doing,' Ben says. 'It was all over the map but it was trying to find some kind of ground and we finally found it: Let Tommy take the ball and run with it!'
-From "Playback"
Track 3 of Disc 5

[@Izzybell311]

Tom Petty has helped me through so many different situations in my life happy, sad it didn’t matter, there was a song. I miss him so much and my biggest regret is I never got to see him in concert.

[@aldarroch3303]

74 likes and no dislikes... Tom Petty, you really are the only man who can get NO dislikes. Ahh. Now that is what I call music!!!

[@cherylschaetz9247]

This gives me the shivers from hearing the emotion in Tom's voice. It's beautiful, it's deep and soulful, and when I listen, I feel an urge to find him and console him. Tom was the whole package rolled up into one amazing being! Missing you deeply. 💔

[@sandyhalloran3235]

You were the one Mr John Hall that I listened to everywhere . I carried the No Nukes Album with me . I cherished all of your honor and integrity , I’m a follower of Jesus Christ and believe in what you stand for even to this day . What is an abomination ? A BOMB !

[@jlanza227559]

Love, love love it. There's a 4 hour Tom Petty documentary on Netflix. This is in it.

[@williampottle8748]

+Judy L I'm actually watching that right now. I took a little break to listen to this song, since I love it so much.

[@jlanza227559]

[@starbrown5289]

Love you

[@maris2ish]

he is soooo guapo and a real blondie! hottie and so talented. greatest artist ever!

[@jean-bernardlalanne2808]

Excellente interprétation émouvante: la chair de poule.

[@blackcrow7049]

No Nukes version is in another level ... for me is one the best live songs on the Tom Petty's set list . Sadly never performed live with The Heartbreakers (or I haven't noticed of that)

[@sashad2011]

I had coworkers that said he wasn't attractive.. I was like wait, what??? Tom Petty was gorgeous and for a man in his 60's and all the crap he went through, he's still hot now.

[@gandalfshakur8235]

10 years later, 21 twats emerged

[@jocelyneke6445]

He is very attractive and soulful. He has real sense of fashion. He is sexy. I love his integrity and brains. Now what did those people say again? 🤔

[@jocelyneke6445]

Tom Petty is beautiful, sexy, emotional, and has great style. He can write and sing any kind of song. Those people don't know what they are talkin' about.

[@gandalfshakur8235]

This song was recorded under Mudcrutch 2 years before the Heartbreakers officially formed.

[@wernerbluhm2996]

Habe ich noch nie von Tom gehört! Tommy kann alles!!!

[@HBJAN98]

WHY??? Why wasn't this one of his chart toppers? I mean, I like all his popular songs. But if you asked me to sit down & make a list of my top 20 favorite TP songs, except for some of the Traveling Wilbury songs, the majority of my favorites aren't the ones that they play on the mainstream radio. They are songs like this one. All the hidden gems!

[@tmartin8902]

Absolutely, Mystery Man, Louisiana Rain and Cry To Me, just to name a few.

[@bornarebel]

Tom sang this song with The Heartbreakers in 1980 at The Whiskey A Go Go

[@Pamelina1111]

Sweet!

[@Exilemainstreet]

Someone heard me playing this CD, said they'd never heard this song before. I told them it was from an era when real musicians played real music.

[@janehop]

soooo true

[@malancronje6805]

This song was written and sung by a South African band named the Staccato's. Their version is 10 times better and I actually love Tom Petty.

[@merrie6641]

"...written by Bert Berns (listed as "Bert Russell") and first recorded by American soul singer Solomon Burke in 1961. Released in 1962...." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cry_to_Me

[@DOCTORRUTHUSA]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jasminejaylee2797]

Rip Tom Petty

[@GatheringBitByBit]

I never thought how much Tom Petty resembles my first husband. Oh, my. Those eyes. The loss of Tom Petty to the world of music is a great loss. ❤ He does Cry To Me better than any artist.

[@z75sportster]

Tom petty was great on this no nukes yea! Rip Tom petty. Miss you!

[@pigmama50]

Great cover....great picures of Tom....such a sexy, sensual song...but Tom's not 60...not yet.....not until October..............

[@leolovesthesixties4299]

Many different singers and bands performed this song. This one is clearly based on the Rolling Stones version. Nice work.... The Pretty Things had a hit with this in the sixties...

[@makeupqueen27]

❤

[@albertpineda9789]

RIP

[@steelyman08]

Excellent!! How is the production so HQ? Thanks so much. New discoveries from Tom Petty & Co. are always a real treat (-:

[@hollispencheff4073]

I AM STUCK ON ALL THERE MUSIC! NOW THAT TOM'S GONE, I PRAY FOR SOME HIDDEN TUNES TO HIT THE SHELVES!

[@stellacatfish]

When there was....... Music.

[@anthonymichaelhalloates2902]

Yes, Tommy can can sing some blues. He also does cool renditions of a couple Jimmy Reed songs you should check out if you haven't heard 'em. Take out some insurance and Big Boss Man

[@tinasuzette]

The emotionalism appeals to me

[@thedork27]

@tompetty1976 OOO!:D

[@thedork27]

@tompetty1976 aw man! lucky!>.< iv been trying to look up tom petty pics but i usually get the same pictures! i wanna find some rare ones!

[@jonathanchapman5543]

They did. But it was never published as a Mudcrutch song, although Mudcrutch is the accredited original recording

[@tompetty1976]

@thedork27 if you go to mudcrutch (.) com they have a photo section. That's a good place to start.
