Freda Payne-The Easiest Way To Fall

[SpazChat]

Is it just me, or does anyone else hear the country music tone to her vocal delivery? Gotta hand to the unsung heroes ----> HGH, Without them there would have been no Band of Gold or this song and all the greats from 60's Motown

[SpazChat]

Wow, what a gem! This is from the days when people had real talent and sang, instead of everything being all synthetic like today. She's from my time, and I'm just discovering this???? Go figure. I was too fixated on Diana Ross at the time :)

LOVE THIS LADY, I DO !!!

[accellos]

wow! Brings back memories

[TammiWayKewl]

I'm glad I found this one again. First heard it 40 years ago, and for the longest time thought I only imagined hearing it. Now I know otherwise.

[djfuze187]

cant beat the originals that were sampled

[DVL32]

Some rapper sampled the intro of this song, just can't call the group or artist.

[kyriacos87]

@DVL32 I know that Wu tang sampled it on "Life Changes" dont know if its that.

[DVL32]

It was a rapper back in the late 80's, more like 1987-88.

@DVL32 ....jvc force-strong island

[DVL32]

Dayyyum, that's it, you muthafuckin' right. I can see that you know ya shit, thanks homie, good looking!!!

[gayboylaca]

If you listen to Honey Cone's song "While You're Out Lookin' for Sugar" you can hear similarities.

grimey drum break

[CITYGROUPTV]

strong island - jvc force

[christheone8773]

I think this tune should have been a hit along with "Band Of Gold" - truly a smoker!!

[kenesto]

Yes it has the fire that"Band Of Gold" does (even being the B-side of the famed 45 vinyl record),but I think song-script is the significant factor.The"Band Of Gold" melodramatic hook of a honeymoon night gone-sour was something new and different that people welcomed.The mystique as well as the music made B-O-G a big hit.

[MsBally1]

@christheone8773 i thought it was the b side to band of gold . takes me back to happy days . brill song should have been a hit .

[gayboylaca]

Definitely one of my favorite songs by Freda Payne.

[Go2Guy2008]

Was this song the B-Side to Band of Gold?

[kenesto]

Yes it is!Two beautifully produced sad love songs that sent that vinyl disk soaring through the roof!"Band of Gold"of course was the engine to that old-school 45rpm record.

[mtimp]

Yes it was

[theboyfromxtown]

@Go2Guy2008

It was also the flip side of her first US Invictus single "Unhooked Generation"

[khaliamoon]

Classic B-Girl song!!
