What happened to songs like these?

[rightfootrayray]

Bring back the true  Rythm& blues

[darlingofmisery]

My father made me a cassette, with songs he wanted me to hear -since he is dying. This was the song that opened it up. I began to cry, since some of this song correlates to my fathers life as he grew up. He lived extremely poor in Texas picking cotton by the age 5 with his 7 other siblings, and not seeing the inside of classroom til he turned 12. I think of his hardships, an abusive father etc... And then to see how he raised my brother and myself - I'm proud of him.

Go easy Dad, go easy.

[jttrujillo0788]

@darlingofmisery thats very touching I myself am proud of him a hard life then to raise a smart person :) its a great song reminds me of my step dad a lot...

[massivebids]

@darlingofmisery this hit the same cord in my heart.

[MastersOfDubb]

no doubt. definitely a bad ass song. heard this on a local radio station recently, am liking them a lot more at the moment! :)

[HOTROD74GremlinX]

My dad died 4 years ago and I thought of this song as I heard it years before his passing and it echoed in my mind after his wake. It's a great song and I think it hits home for us all.

[gimaalways72]

Think of my kids when I hear this, they just lost their father much too early, just 3 months ago. They love this song, I know they will hear "my Daddy's voice" for the rest of their lives! Thanks, Clarence.

Patches is definatly a classic!! I couldn't believe he came out with Strokin' so many years later!!! :-) He took a BIG leap!!! :-D

[gramos1959]

This is a very sad song it reminds of my dad that's what my grandfather told my dad they lived in the country in the 1930s

Who could touch this song and performance today? Such strength and character! Not one of today's so-called superstars could touch this......
