Energized by his return to raw, heavy,James Brown-style funk,Fields emerged as the leading light of the so-called deep funk movement with a series of recordings that often equaled, and sometimes outdid, his early work."
After a lengthy hiatus, Fields returned in the '90s as a soul-blues belter playing to female-heavy audiences on the Southern circuit. Thanks to sample-obsessed hip-hoppers and British rare-groove aficionados, interest in obscure vintage funk reached a peak in the late '90s, and Fields was fortunate enough to have remained active when new recordings in the style became a viable proposition.
"Lee Fields initially made his name among die-hard funk fans with a series of hard-hitting singles recorded for various small labels during the '70s. Everything about Fields -- his look, his vocals, the grooves on his records -- was so indebted to James Brown that he earned the nickname "Little J.B." Fields never hit it big, but his rough-and-tumble singles went on to become popular collectors' items.
@nbyers100 My baby love...don't leave it like this. And if you leave me baby, no, no I don't last for long....my baby love, my honey dove....no they don't make songs like this any more.

I skidded over here to listen after hearing this on SVU: Special Victims Unit (unfortunately, the scene was given to any baby love)...hmmm-hmmm-hmmm. I need a drank so I can start crying in it

I just heard this on the radio. Goodness, I can feel the pain and emotion through his singing. Powerful stuff. Also, this might be a YouTube precedent of having 0 dislikes. Let's keep it that way for this song. Why can't music be more like this now?
this is the shit right here, i heard it on lights out n i had to find it....im goin to itunes n buying it right now.....it really relaxes me n makes me wonder wtf happened to good music???
SVU brought me here.
