Theola Kilgore - The Love of My Man

A 1963 R&B hit with a strong gospel flavour. There was a nice, if pretty straight, cover version by Pearlean Gray and the Passengers released a few years later.

Only one man can do such a thing as that. One could spend a life time...patiently waiting for such a one to return. The memory of such a one lingers in the atmosphere and captivates the moments. It is the perpetual essence of one's soulmate. A man like that can never be replaced. He's the kind of a man that you meet up again with in your next life. This is a treasure.

I have loved this song since I was A little girl. Ms. Theola sings this song like it's coming from her heart and soul. God Bless Her!!!!

Evolution of music! You'd have to be really smart, & live a 1000 yrs, to understand language accent evolution. Watched POISON FIRE. CEO of SHELL OIL spoke to the protesters, with a Nigerian accent! We have ENGLAND English, American & Australian! This song was 1st THE LOVE OF MY GOD. Maybe by REV JAMES CLEAVLAND. Then THEOLA. Then the 1st Blue eyed Soul Sister, TIMI YURO, (THE LOVE OF A BOY).

Ruby Johnson gives this song a slow but not easy-going treatment. It's up on YT.
