One of the best songs ever! Way to go, guys.

I apologized to "nachelleg" in a reply to her post. Let's let it go now.

@heckler245 I apologize, i was wrong, here is what i found on Wiki:
"From Wikipedia,
"Loves Me Like a Rock" is a 1973 song recorded by American singer-songwriter Paul Simon, who also wrote the song which appears on his solo album There Goes Rhymin' Simon. It features background vocals from The Dixie Hummingbirds, a Southern gospel group. The Dixie Hummingbirds were eager to record the song with Simon, and they recorded their own version of the song soon afterward."

@heckler245 Wrong, the Dixie Hummingbirds were around WAY before Paul was. Paul did a cover of it and it just stuck because of how popular he was at the time. RIP Ira, may you be singing God's praises in heaven. I would like to think I'll see you there when I pass on.
-
LOVE IT! You know Ira is in heaven with his mother singing up a storm for God and the angels!
-
@nachelleg Nope. Simon wrote the song.
-
If they sing like this in heaven, I'll never do a bad thing again. Pure magic...

THIS IS SO AWESOME, AND @LIVESOCIETY MANWOMANBOOGIE YOU ARE SO RIGHT , THIS IS NOT A PAUL SIMON ORIGINAL, THIS IS AN OLD TRADITIONAL R AND B, OR GOSPEL SONG, BUT NO ONE EVER GIVES CREDIT TO THE ORIGINATOR, JUST THE ONE WHO TAKES THE CREDIT.

@manwomanboogie This song is most definitely a Paul Simon composition. The lyrics are Simon and it's widely considered that it's about President Nixon who was involved in the watergate scandal and was forced to resign.
Simon has many collaborations with musicians that showcased different styles including this one where the Hummingbirds did the backing vocal arrangement on their own, but the lyrics and song are always Simon.
