Thank you for this... I adore Levi's voice. I was13 when this was released, wow what a flood of memories & emotion.... including the Brut aftershave LOL
What a voice!!! what a song, reminds me of my dad, he used to play the four tops albums constantly..... and know i play them. i remember the smell of brutt aftershave, and my dad singing. love you dad xxxxxxxxxxxx
Now THIS is music! Compare this with the corporate, bling and sex-obsessed, insipid nonsense peddled by Britney, Justin, Rihanna, etc, etc today - no comparison. This is what Heaven must sound like. Thanks so much for posting. Yeah!
This record came out the week my then girlfriend broke up with me- we got together again and eventually married. We divorced in 1995 due to my stupidity. She died 5 years ago and I never got round to saying what I truly thought and felt for her. Too late now and what a waste...................don't throw your life away- say and do it NOW, because one day it will be too late.
I remember singing this time & time again as a kid in front of mums record player ..she's at rest now .. but I still tear up especially from 2.47... Levi's voice and the Bass interplay.. damn near breaks your heart... love to all..
This is my favorite song of all time. Brings me to tears every time I hear it. Wichita Lineman is my 2nd favorite - funny how they were both written by Jimmy Webb - does he have a passport to my soul?
Out of all the 4 tops songs this is my favourite and one of my favourite songs of all time. I love all the Holland Dozier Holland stuff but this one was written by a white chap (Jimmy Webb) so bless him for coming up trumps with a classic. Well posted Bob - obviously a man of impeccable taste!
This song i have on vinyl & is in my top 5 songs of all time.. a friend thought the original was by Nina Simone (RIP) v/g however, until i introduced her to this... I write lyrics & attempt to sing! if i was only 10% as good as Levi I'd be happy.

If my man was willing to let me go, and loved me as much as the sentiment in this song, I would NEVER NEVER leave him in the first place.
