[TDSouledOut1]

70s reggae didn't get any better than this. Lichfield Civic Hall in 1975, carry me back there Lord.

[fieldfullofthistles]

Hurts so good sounds so nice. If only this kind of individuality could be heard today.

[HengistTheGreat]

@fieldfullofthistles

"If only this kind of individuality could be heard today."

So individual that it is a cover...

[wrathallll]

[firegold13]

[gangsta1143]

[iamchef1]

this reminds me of how good it was back in the day

[3rk4u]

my folks favourite love it now as i did as an 8yr old thanx 4 this.

[kenporich]

I used to listen to this tune bouncing around the “vaults” in Newcastle in 75 Susan Cadogan, one of my top five............

[lagerandwine]

Brilliant.  End of........................

[flagstare]

Have a listen to Jimmy Somerville's version It's Good (almost as good!!)

[kenporich]

@flagstare no where near

[sewitt60]

@flagstare His version is probably better vocal wise,but not musically wise.

[TheMambavenom]

this reminds me of youthful days, care free in tropical climes.

[ty3165]

now thats what you call a afro!!!

[TheMimifur]

Sometimes something really bad happens and you just need a good song. Bless you for this. I can't stop crying for Dan Wheldon. Too fast too live too young to die. 

[1979Libster]

Amazing..!!!!

[Ladystormlover]

@dudeurug yeah wouldnt that be good

[chozie76]

such a good song.

[SkajdDub]

See my video response for Susan's modern remix. Performed with U-Roy and mixed by Mad Professor

3 reggae legends unite!!!

[audimanpov]

Awww shit !! Brings back memories of my first proper girlfriend ( know what I mean) yeah, first cut is always the deepest, brill times way back then ,all changed now.... : ((

[ferryman1960]

had the single,was 14,fking brill

[TheMimifur]

Utterly brilliant. I'm constantly surprised that this wonderful song has a) never been re-released or redone and b) is not used in the endless seventies telly programmes.

[dudeurugly23]

yo im crying ............. ill build a time machine and go back in time

[TheDocmajor]

Classic choooooooooooon!

[upsetterz]

she went against lee perry's advice and that stupid prick pete waterman ripped her off!

[MrsCG81]

[msminxie1]

[cazzie1960]

[BeorhtFrognostic]

Is this the version that Pete Waterman produced? Sounds different to the Lee Perry production.

[richfire999]

I heard Robert Elms talking about this song on his radio show today. When I heard it , it transported me back so many years to a girl I was mad about. The lyrics were written for me then. What a great song,Susan C .. what a beautiful lady...wow!

[Rainbowchildren1]

@richfire999 Yes me to, Robert Elms radio show is real good. Iiked both versions. what did you think of Milly Jackson's.

[sarsquare]

@richfire999 I'd never heard of this song before Robert Elms' radio show a few weeks ago. Thank goodness he did - I love it now!

[allbackofthebus]

[happychappy12]

WOW!!.........Susan.Many many thanks for replying, it's nice to know that you're still around and I'm betting you look even more gorgeous and sound as good now !! Love as always P xx

[happychappy12]

I was 19 in 1975 and this sounds as good today as it did back then. I'd forgotten just how gorgeous she was and a voice like velvet. Thanks for posting xx

[stonyhillpo]

@happychappy12 and everyone! Thanks for listening and loving my most favourite song of all time! I loved Millie Jackson's hit of "Hurt so Good" written by Phillip Mitchell and Lee Pery did this reggae version! I give thanks for singing it!.This is the BBC orchestra's version, not the real Perry rhythm though...but still many thanks!....When I do my shows and say.."Dont you know that it"?...everyone shouts back...."Hurt so Good"....it is a lover's anthem!!

Much love..Susan

[suziwalford]

Played & played this one when it came out, classic tune

[soulsupremeful]

I remember buying this single years ago - I still love to hear it!!

[Kwekwe]

Is there a reason so many on here seem to think Susan will read these comments? I'm not being sarcastic I honestly am curious as it seems it was uploaded by a fan, I don't get why she would see this.

[PointlessCenter]

@Kwekwe Susan is U tube user: stonyhillpo

I was 5 in 75. loved it then, love it now. One love.

[stonyhillpo]

@PointlessCenter Thats where I live in Jamaica...Stony Hill. Just want to thank you for your really nice comment....Love that you love it!....All the best.Kwekwe...Susan from Stony Hill!...

[Kwekwe]

@PointlessCenter yes you are right, she answered my email and proved me wrong! I was also 5 in '75 and love this song as it brings back memories of happier days-One Love :-)

[stonyhillpo]

@Kwekwe ..sometimes I do log in and so many things are posted and sometimes I too look for clips of songs that I love by others...it is so heart warming to read all these comments...for real...I see most of them!....and I thank you for yours!...Love, Susan

[Kwekwe]

[SuperKillajosh]

[soulhoney56]

Wonderful !!!

[stringcussion]

NICE VOICE, CLEAN HEART FELT MUSIC & LYRICS

Did she also sing a song titled, Breakfest in Bed.Voice sounds very much the same.

Real class. love it.

[LadyO1066]

@stringcussion Lorna Bennet did "Breakfast in Bed" Another Classic,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[robroxyfan]

I just discovered Susan's music from reading Michael Veal's "Dub" book--I was so impressed by her comments that I had to check out her music, she is wonderful, so cool and soulful at the same time, how did I not know about her all this time? I always loved Millie Jackson's version of "Hurt So Good" but for me Susan owns it now.

[stonyhillpo]

@robroxyfan ..You are so kind...thanks a mil! I would love to read this book..have to look it up!...Susan

[scragster105]

There are several classics that remind me of the fairground when I was younger, this is one of them, absolutely love it !

[Gypsylass]

The best female around in the 70's you still give me goose bumps xx

[MrYes2day]

Wow I never realised she actually made it to TOTP.

I was in uniform in a dark place in those days. We never saw TV.

This is just one of them choonz..........

Was still chucking it down when I became a civy in the late 70,s

Still chucks it now I'm a pensioner in the 2010 Wow.

Thanks Susan for a Great tune and some great memories on account of it.

[darganx]

Produced by the 'Upsetter', Lee Perry. Saw him near Willesden Bus Garage a few years ago, chatting to a driver lol..

This isn't the original 1970 version - sounds re-recorded.

[stonyhillpo]

@darganx Hello...yes, you are right, everytime I did Top of the Pops we had to re-record the track...my original version was recorded at Lee Perry's Black Ark studio in Jamaica late 1974....Love, Susan

[blaplaygirl]

my all time fave reggae tune love it xxxxxxxx

[suckanow]

this was a good one for dancing to.

[zaftra]

She's quite an handsome woman.

[Chel4seA]

sexiest voice in Reggae *****

[bushbabyize]

when this song hit the charts the bbc asked her to come over for top of the pops

without ever seeing her

when she turned up at heathrow she was virtually bald with a really dodgy glass

eye.she was wisked off for a make over and i think they did a good job

[stonyhillpo]

I have never been virtually bald nor worn dodgy glasses. I do use contacts for my shows as do many people. I have never had a make-pver and never will. If you notice I hardly have on any make-up, I was made-up at BBC like all the other artistes.. No-one did "good-job" on me. I wore a huge wig as was/is the fashion. I am who I am and always will be.......Susan Cadogan

[FadahRon]

@stonyhillpo Hi Susan!! You're a legend!! Love your music!

[stonyhillpo]

@FadahRon Thanks so much....All your comments make me feel so good...makes it all worthwhile!! It was/is a long and rocky road!! Love, Susan

[FadahRon]

@stonyhillpo Hi Susan! Thanks! You've really made my day!! I Love reggae music so much and I wish back then we had our own T.V show in the Seventies dedicated to Reggae music to show case the great artists like yourself each week. The Americans had Soul Train then and they can now look back at all their great Soul music. Never mind. Achieving those hits was just incredible Susan! You're the best female reggae singer ever! Love, Ron

[StrapOnRobbie]

Hi Susan! Never heard of you before reading Pete Waterman's book "I Wish I Was Me", but I like what I hear and see! I just read his recollection of meeting you. Have you not read it? I see that you refute that you had a makeover, but he claims that you showed up bald and scary-looking and worse, and that right before you did this performance they had to give you a major makeover! I think you'd better have a talk with him! ;) Whatever the case, must explore more of your music. Take care.

[Atomank68]

Maybe I'm the ump-teenth entry to correct this, but as far as I know American R&B torch-songtress MILLIE JACKSON first sang this song in 1973A.D.(Composer was Phillip Mitchel.) This version sounds more pop than reggae, as the music form really didn't take hold in the US until the late early 80s. Any comment on this? I mean the Millie Jackson original.

[miyagi7946]

beautiful girl,great song,bad dress!!!,but it was the seventies,so we forgive you susan!.seriously,the seventies had great music but crap fashion sense!!

[tekenareuben]

Black women look way more attractive when they wear an Afro or a braid as against the fake weave on or blond wig.

The Black women of the 70s are much more pretty than the ones of today

[JUNGLEJUSTICE9mm]

biggg respect...i couldn't agree with u more...............that fake ish gets on my nerves

[1975MADNESS]

I own over 600 soul, reggae, r&b 45's and close to 500 lp. This is and always will be my number one favorite record. Pure class!!

[burnley5960]

Great sound

[kojobruni68]

dont yer just luv the afo...those were the days wen black woz beautiful...now they all wannabees

[michaelb9360]

Done some hard drinking to this music, still the finest tune of all. I believe she is still going strong????

[stonyhillpo]

@michaelb9360 Yes I am...thanks so much.!..have a drink for me! All the best..Susan

[dandively]

nice fro susan!!!!

[vlaovik]

I've never heard this song before. I want to hear it a lot more! Brilliant stuff this is. I'm hunting for it on Itunes!

[MrBuckley123]

old tunes never die

[pargaluvva]

Oh I love this song. Takes me back to when I was young, free, single!!!

[muckymair]

SC....love ur music. I heard that you did a remake of "reaching out for love (Touch me Baby)"...is this true? I have been trying to get a copy of that song for ages. When was it released and on what album?

[Atomank68]

@muckymair. "Reaching Out for Your Love (Touch Me Baby)". You mean the TAMIKO JONES original???

[muckymair]

Yes...I heard Susan Cadogan's version....wicked!!!! Love it to death

[stonyhillpo]

@muckymair Yes I did do a version of "Reaching out."..it is on the album "Sincerely Susan"". When I go to Jamaica , I could mail you a 45rpm..if you want..write me on myspace and I will get your details. I recorded it originally for the album "Chenistry of Love" but that is not available. Thanks..Susan

[theblackcatsmiles]

one of the best song's of the 70's.......lee perry and susan cadogen does it get any better !!!!!

[stonyhillpo]

BIG SMILE!! That's what i have on my face after reading this! Thanks so much....keeps me going! One love everytime...Susan

[eskodisko]

[stonyhillpo]

You are so kind...thank you for these good vibes!

[donjay17601]

Good song but the version by Millie Jackson blows my mind away........different beats which makes both songs unique but I think Millie makes it more touching

[baloothebear2]

Oh do be quiet mate. If you were around in 1975, then this was the one.- Go back to sleep will you.

[majorsnag]

@baloothebear2 hahaha..lmao "go back to sleep"...fuckin excelent :-)

[skeggy1965]

@baloothebear2 this is a classssssssssssssic xxxxxxxxxxx



[SuperOmnicron]

@baloothebear2 Great song! Im surprised it hasnt made a comeback in a Guy Ritchie film or something.

[ty3165]

@SuperOmnicron what an excellent suggestion,i can imagine tyrone and the boys in the car driving along when this comes on the radio

[stonyhillpo]

You are so right...I loved Millie Jackson's version! Saw the movie Cleopatra Jones that is was in and so I came to love the song..Lee Perry just put a reggae twist on it and am so happy I had the opportunity to sing it for him....my biggest hit to date...give thanks! One love..Susan C.
