Absoltely fantastic!! -

[angieloucan]

I love this song. He was the best!!

[rldeal1]

what a wonderful, beautiful, soulful voice and impeccable stage persona! LEGEND

[neildublin1]

This is a very philosophical song he sings with such panache I first heard it as a young boy in the 60 s and I did not know the name of singer I come from a farming background in Ireland never even seen a cotton plant but this song is hauntingly beautiful the smile on Brook Denton's face is priceless great to be able to see and hear this again

[bigbirdandsnuffyfan]

Man!!! he was good!

[dragontailjunkie]

One of the best singers of all time.

[zaphod8eeblebrox]

lets face it, eddie cochran, elvis and many more covered this mans stuff, but no-one can touch him .....smoooth cool suave we love ya Brook, no one sings a song like you

[lyn50]

You said it right: "no-one can touch him". One of the absolute all-time greats. So little live footage of him around, it seems. What a shame.

[theuncommonenemy]

you tell em

[JerryKitich]

He's a great singer but this is a black man singing about cotton, stereotype upon stereotype & what's with that hick music endlessly looping behind him.

[psychkoala]

It's a great song and perfect for Mr. Benton's voice.

Eddie Cochran did a nice version; but it doesn't touch Brook's.

-- And his sudio version is even better.

[PatsBooks]

This is a very interesting and historically relevance.

[websurfer1001]

Brook Benton is one of the best singers of the 1960's. Original, professional, impecable! Long live Brook and his songs.

[Talk2kcab]

Lol, Chetta61, you put a laff on my face, thx. I love this song really bad.

[williamgrant94]

Brook Benton is my great uncle!

[jbird46]

How come the family don't invest in a web site? There are many fans who would love to see something on line. Myspace anything. Love Brook.

[williamgrant94]

Don't know, but Brook probably wouldn't want us to use his fame for money

[musicmatty67]

A Legendary singer and entertainer..one of the BEST for sure.

[Melmando]

Who is the black actor at the very beginning of the clip?

[kennethlarkin]
