@wasthere1 Make sure you check out "The Matadore" Great vocal, trumpet and piano rifs. And of course Um Um Um Um Um Um Um the classic.

I never got to see him live but have all his big and not so big hits. 60's rule.

I am suprised to hear this only made number 21 on the Billboard Top 40 list. This record, both sides, was number one on my list for a while. Then again so was "Dream Lover", "A Lovers Question," "You Send Me," "Brokenhearted Melody" "Sea of Love", "Till I Kissed Ya" "Sleep Walk" and so many other...

53 years since I first heard this song and the flip side Nobody but You and still love to hear them both. I must agree with drjimboy69, Dee is Clyde McPhatter-esque. One can almost hear him singing A Lovers Question. I Love it!!

@lookingback62 Meant to say "What a great song". So I can't type.

Fantastic song. I like this live version better than all the others on youtube. Of course the studio cut is the best. Does anyone know the approximate date of this performance?

You guys got it right. All good shows. I still remember well growing up with Hoppy, The Lone Ranger, and a slew of regular movies with Buster Crabb, Lash LaRue, and Gene Autry with a bunch of character actors that we would see for many years on many different shows. Some of the like Carl Akains w...

Very off the track of this great song but here goes. The men and some women of Hollywood both American and British Were true Patriots. One who did not tote a gun but must be remembered forever is Bob Hope and his Troupe. Martha Ray also falls into that catagory. Todays shits from hollywood suppo...

Great Song, Great Singer. It was on the top of my chart in Oct of 58 and still today. Poor messed up kids of today who missed Clyde, Jackie Wilson, Dee Clark Bobby Darin, Mel Carter, and so so many others. They are stuck with rap and hip hop. What a sham!

Great Song, Great Singer. Just a pleasure to listen.

Great version of this song. My favorite is by the Coasters (circa 1955), I saw then in a club in Fitchburg, Mass in 1974. The song goes way back to the thirtys. Billy Eckstein, Frank Sinatra, Wainwright and several others have recorded it. I prefer those led by a great bassman. e.g. the Coasters ...

God, I love it all! Levi Stubbs and the Tops were always together and not as Levi Stubbs and the 4 Tops. As great as he was, David Ruffin was wanting to take over so it is best he went on. Like I said I love them all, BUT when Melvin Franklin comes in and really gets DOWN, I do get goosebumps. Th...

@7252christian Very profound Sir. I as an old white man dare not express such thoughts. Here is what is and has been in my mind for 53 years plus: This song, Sarah Vaughan's Broken Hearted Melody, Sam Cook's You Send Me, A Change is Gonna Come, almost anything Nat King Cole, Same with Brook Bento...

@lookingback62 A good Gibbs smack in the head for me. Way too many bass men out there to list them all, but how the heck did I leave out Barry White??? What a DS.

I have been a fan of Major Lance since 1963. Since Um um um um um um, The Monkey Time, The Matadore (I love the trumpet and piano interaction). I have loved them all. This is the first time I have heard him do Gypsy Woman. Thank You Youtube. I went to see The Major and Moms Mabley at the Office L...

Ya'll fuss about who did the falsetto, this old white man's favorite singer in this one is Pervis Jackson who did the fantastic bass part. I have no idea who did the girls part but the salute Pervis who passed at age 70 back in August 2008. I my humble opinion, I think Pervis is right up there w...

@badgirlsclubhoe This sho nuff OLD White man thinks Tammi and Marvin are not only a great duet, they are the cutest couple there ever was. RIP both of you.

@xXTinaXx94 I am mostly with you on this one. Don't think the match Jimmy Ruffin or Joan Osborne for that matter. However, there is no need for the hate and discontent shown by some of the "lesser" people who have commented. Such people limit themselves in so many ways. I love many forms of music...

I can not think of a time I would rather have been born without greatly expanding the fantasy. Born in 1943 my Mother and Dad introduced me to so many of the great sounds of the 30's and 40's. With a constant flow of country available I then grew up with Rockabilly, THE ORIGIONAL Rock and Roll, D...

By far one of my most favorite songs. This is probably the best version being the origional but I also enjoy watching the 1982 on stage video. I have loved this man and his music from back in the late 50's with my next favorite of his "Endlessly". It's Just a Matter of Time" and "Think Twice" On...

@vivalabam1986 I could have written this post myself with very little modification. It was 63 years ago that my Mother sang Red Wing to me as a bedtime lullaby. My Father had recently returned from the Pacific and was looking for a job in Akron, Ohio. It was a bitter sweet time for my family who ...

Memories, memories, memories. What a great compilation! I only did not recall "A Fool for You (Ray Charles) and I had no clue on the last song.Otherwise I knew all the others very well. Ray Charles had some great music out before "Hit the Road Jack" but you have to dig for it. Least wise, I do.

@vytildie tis a great song. You make me recall my Dad I lost in 78. Pop music left him with Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw and the Dorseys. I do remember singing in the car between Louisville, KY and Akron, OH on old US 42.

Mostly it was hymns like "What a Friend We have in Jesus", Come to the Church i...

@flipside582 As soon as I read the comment by trivett68 I thought the same thing. Glad to see there are folks out there who remember, and I would say love, this great music from an earlier time. Hats off to ya flipside!

Keep the faith.

Maybe not my favorite song, but right up there.Fantastic voice fm David Clayton Thomas, always great musicians. I have never heard a tuba solo like this one. I was lucky to see D.C T. and BS&T in Berlin in 79 or 80, (dates are not as clear to me anymore.)

Thank You USO!

This song grabs like little else. First heard it in the early mid 60's. Lived it twice in the later 60's and early 70's thanks to Unkle Sam and VietNam.

Dang, I wish I could type. And Spell!

The anthisis to As Long As I Have You. One Night, a great sound, is a true wham bam thank you ma'am.

@genego I think you nailed that too.

I searched this song out cause I love it by Teresa as well as Sam Cooke. Always been a Teresa Brewer fan but good ole Youtube's suggestions reminded me of a couple I had not thought about I.e. "Till I waltz again with You" and "A Sweet Old-Fashioned Girl"

YES! Thanks for the video, it is the first time I recall hearing this one by Teresa. I have been a big fan of her's for many many years. A couple of my favorites are the cover of Sam Cook's "You Send Me" and "The one Rose that's Left in My Heart"

@mrquackadoodlemoo Dittoes to ya Mr Quack. This song along with this video can sure make

an old soldier weep.

@dalkey130388 YOU THE MAN! I love them all but it is Melvin that gives me the goosebumps. He is great on this one as well as "O'le Man River", "I Truley Truley do Believe" etc.
