  • LWJ is the only one who sings this song like it's ABOUT someone other than himself. Everyone else tarts it up and sings it like THEY'RE the sexy one. Note to singers: this song is not about you. It's about the other person. LWJ sounds like he's practically begging for this girl and that's how it should be, IMO. Most people sing this one like they're looking in the frickin' mirror. LWJ's version is the best and always will be until someone learns to sing without their ego front and center.

  • this is one underrated muthafunka

  • κάποτε η μουσική είχε ποιότητα ρε... αυτά ειναι! παλιά, γνύσια και αξέχαστα!

  • @sandoval7 shut up dummy! don't knock the original

  • this version is awesome! but get over the fact there are other versions, most ARE sexier. Half of the classic jazz and soul out there were discarded half-known jams until someone gave it something special. So, enjoy the first cut but don't bitch someone else did a snazzier version because most of the time it's what brings you back to the original.

  • this originla version - cant be done better.. nuff said.

  • funny ive never heard the original as vinyl - and here it is online - ind an epic quality

    theres no substitue for this original - just the way he does is - can not be overdone.. and ive heard almost every single version there is of this great song.. and now im hearing it again and again.. :)

  • @GeneBurnett Thank you, very true.

  • James Brown always credited Little Willie John as the very epitome of soul music -- and James didn't dispense praise lightly. Little Willie is one of the great, too-often unheralded masters of soul.

  • A new book is out about him. He and Jackie Wilson were rivals. I can understand why. He had great range. Great comment GeneBurnett.

  • The old King 78 is as incredible as Little Willie John both Fever and Sleep are each better than the other.Two of the all time Great R&b Classics!

  • classic
