Oh man, this song came out the same year I started in Elementary school . My mom used to play this all the time and we lived right next to a little cafe jook-joint and thy played Joe Simone's music all the time. Talk about bringing back memories, boy, it's like this was just yesterday. When one compares this with today's garbage, it makes you miss those days all the more! Swash6180, whoever you are, God bless you.
JUST MISSED!!! "Power of Love" just missed making the Billboard's Hot Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 15 weeks in the Hot Top 100 in 1972. This was Mr. Simon's 23rd record to have made the Hot 100!!!
Man I remember my Aunt used to play this record when my grandparents would go to church, one day they came home early & heard her playing this record & shouted turn that mess off!! Ain't nobody got power but god! I was only 12 or 13 then & I have never forgotten that. It was funny then & still is.
Thanks for posting this song. I love all of the comments posted. I was 12 when this came out. What I really loved was the horns. I would hum to the horns more than I would listen to the lyrics. These sure are some good memories, though. As for as Joe goes, my memory goes as far back as Drowning In The Sea of Love. Talk about S.O.U.L Not Neo-soul, but SOOOOULLL! My son & daughter, 27 & 26 loves this music.

Another #1 hit for Joe Simon on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 253rd #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #11 on the Top 40 charts.
