I love your voice and your playing can you please help me learn to play the guitar...I am taking it in college and can't get it together enough to do what I need to do...I would so appreciate it. Marguerite
Jimmy, this is simple outstanding. I dont know how you can just sit down and come up with such a wonderful song and do it so well, so quickly, but vocals were excellent and the guitar, you are so VERY talented and gifted, it amazes me how very good you are. Your a natural, i really enjoyed this great song, thank you so much for the share, your version is wonderful!, Cheri 10*
@magicwoman116 Cheri, you really made my day with your super compliment. I really appreciate you posting such a generous and kind comment!! Thanks my friend!
I have always loved this song and you have paid it justice. Great job. If I knew what happened to the star rating, I would give you 6 or more. (now that's out of 5.) ( and it was not before I was born, young fellows.)
@cjwaywell Thanks Chris, it's a bit dated, recorded before we were born, but it's a grabber, nonetheless. Thanks so much for the kind words my friend.
@JoSieLove2Sing4u Thanks Josie! I've got that t-shirt too, and on the back it says "imagine all the people ... living life in peace." Now, wouldn't that be sweet?
@FAUSTORICCARDO Grazie Fausto! Gamble and Huff wrote "If You Don't Know Me By Now" which was recorded by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes (Teddy Pendergrass was the lead singer) around 1972. This similarly titled song "You Don't Me" was written by Cindy Walker and Eddy Arnold. Eddy Arnold recorded it around 1955. Take care my friend! Jim
@90000screaminwatts Hey Chuck, thanks for looking that up. And thanks for the enthusiastic review, much appreciated as always my good Lone Star buddy!
That's lovely, friend! You obviously got a lot more accomplished before church than I did. ;) I have too many critters here to ever manage to record a song before I get out the door on Sunday! ANd you did a beautiful cover too! NAncy
@nllleonard Thanks Nancy my friend. We went to 12:00 Mass, so I had some time to kill Sunday morning. I know you tend to a lot more critters than we do (and truth be told, my dear wife is the primary caretaker around here anyway. I pet 'em and love 'em, but she feeds 'em and cleans up after 'em, come to think of it, she does that for me too!)
there's no end to your versatility jimmy so many genres and always your own stamp on it .i first heard the ray charles version on one of my all time favorite movies groundhog day .another great cover jimmy loved it.
What's there not to like about your covers bro? I can't find a bad thing to say...hehehehe Great job Jimmy, your videos are always impressive and worth my personal time. Keep em coming \,,/
@buniluvr Thanks Julie, but I'd be XXX'ed right off that stage. Too old, too fat, too bald. Now you julie, you're young and trim and pretty, and you can flat-out sing. I nominate you my dear!!
This is a lovely song. It was written by Cindy Walker and Eddy Arnold, I think in 1955. Your rendition is wonderful. You give it a touching, almost delicate quality that makes it your own. Beautifully played and sung. I love it.
Jimmy I think this is your best cover to date!! Maybe second to your Hank Williams cover!! It was almost like you channeled the spirits of the Grand Ole Opry.
I was just taking a break from writing my exam paper which has to be finished in 8 hours - and then I found this... Thanks for making my night a little brighter Jim...
I may have a loooong night in front of me - but right now I'm smiling :-)
@ijustwanttosing Dear Kari, that is about the best compliment I've received on this song, and there have been some nice things said. So, I'll try to figure out how to give YOU ten thumbs!
Wow, you really did a beautiful job on this song Jimmy! Your arrangement was terrific and, as always, your singing and guitar playing was superb! This one is a definite 'fave' for me! Well done buddy! ... FrAnK (~Fave~)
@allshookup1977 FrAnK, old buddy. You are the man who put me on the YT map my friend, and I'll never forget it! Thanks so much for enjoying my version of this old country song, and for faving it. That means a lot to me.
@practicing4 Min, Thanks for the sweet compliment ~ luv ya and here's some big cyber hugz for ya. I LOVE your singing and I think you have a great sense of style and soul.
@Sunambra Martin, you are much too kind. I look up to you, you know? You're a damn fine singer and guitarist!! Thanks for the encouragement my friend! Much appreciated!
@Hetriani Yo Chris, that means a ton to me! I also really dig that you and I can appreciate a wide variety of musical styles and genres. We have our favorites no doubt, but good music is good music, whether it's metal, bluegrass or Tuvan throat singing. Take care man!
@deltahotel1 Hi ya Dan, I've known this song since I was a boy, but even back then, I knew there was a poignant unrequited love aspect to this song that's pretty much universal; i.e. doesn't almost every guy, at some point, fall head over heels for a woman who isn't even remotely aware of the depth of emotion she is inspiring? Anyway, that's the soulful part, the sweet must be bittersweet. Thanks so much for your comment. Much appreciated my friend!
Jimmy! Great rendition brother! Written by Cindy Walker and Eddie Arnold for Elvis. Mickey Gilley also had a hit with it. Great to see you brother!......blu.
@blu65gibson Hey blu! My main man! Thanks for the information, and for the nice compliment. I'm always happy to see you 'round my channel brother blu! You're definitely one of the guys I've been friends with on here the longest! That makes me proud, 'cause you're a heck of a good guitar picker and singer too, not to mention a real good guy.
Thanks for lending your expertise rendition to this song jimmymac,super performance my friend.You sing any song and make it sound good. Two Thumbs Up. Jerry
@scladyusa Thanks so much my friend. Several other viewers have mentioned the song was written by Cindy Walker and Eddy Arnold, and that it's been covered by Elvis Presley and Mickey Gilley in addition to Ray Charles. I've always loved the song, and I'm glad to get your thumbs up.
Haven't heard this song in forever, Jimmy - it's such a good one. I love the way you just sat down and played it like you were right here in the living room...allows that great natural voice of yours to shine. Well done.
I love your voice and your playing can you please help me learn to play the guitar...I am taking it in college and can't get it together enough to do what I need to do...I would so appreciate it. Marguerite
