Sure beats all the Black-crap singers of today!

One of Gene Chandler's often overlooked songs is a real 'gem' that was a regional hit in the midwest in 1962, 'When You Left Me." The Chicago stations played it all the time and it was huge and it is one of the most memorable songs from my youth in Chicago that brings back such great memories of that time, the girls and the wonderful times we had.

Have not hear this one in a long time. I also saw Gene Chandler in person in 1964 and 1965. He was so cool and a great performer. In his era there were so many great soul singers but he is memorable, especially from my years in Chicago.

R. KELLEY? ARE YOU ON DOPE? This is the one and only GENE CHANDLER, THE WOMAN HANDLER! R. Kelly could not flush his toilet! And Curtis Mayfield wrote the the majority of his hits! Saw him at the Howard Theater in '65, '66, and '67! HE IS ONE HELL OF AN ENTERTAINER!

The UNSUNG episode on TAMMI TERRELL is available on YouTube.

I recently saw , on the T.V. series UNSUNG, that Gene was instrumental in getting TAMMI TERRELL away from James Brown's abusive grip. WAY TO GO GENE !! although Tammi died tragicly young, you may have indeed been instrumental in extending her life. UNSUNG should do a show on YOU !!!

@JazzyJ1318 I am confused about our conversation! Duke of Earl was a fabulous song! My favorite though was Rainbow and Rainbow 65! I cant remember how we got on Percy Sledge, but When a Man loves a woman is the all time greatest love song! (Please tell me why are we comparing the two? I'm lost!
