Oscar Toney Jr - For Your Precious Love

As well as a hit single, this was also the title track of the fantastic album!
Oscar became totally disillusioned by the music industry years ago! Last i heard of this great singer (2006), he was working part time as a security guard, but still occasionally performing. I think he is in his early 70s! He lives with his wife Carolyn and his dog, Princess in Phoenix City, Alabama.

@bluemoon12369 Thank you! There are 2 versions of this song that in my opinion are awful though!

Thanks for sharing this song . I haven't seen Oscar Toney Jr. in years . He was my mentor and I believe he never really got his due as a artist.

@zaid47 Thank you for your comment. If you click the down arrow below the video, it will show the latest info on Oscar that i have.

Totally agree that Oscar is undeservably ignored! All his cover versions of songs are better than originals or other covers in my opinion!

Now that's the way to sing and put feelings across.

Now I love Jerry B's version, & also loves Otis & Garnet Mimms renditions of this song. But I must say,that this version of For your precious love is sweeter & more soul grabbing then any of them that I have heard. Damn good job Mr. Toney.... damn good job.

Class IS class. It hurts me to know that he was not afforded the recognition that he deserved. It is in these circumstances that I would have liked to had the power to make the appropriate amendment to history. What an amazing singer! Keep the faith Mr. Oscar Toney Jr. Your presence on this world stage will never be forgotten. God bless, sir.

Oscar is actually a good friend of mine. its ashame that he retired and is now working as a security gaurd at anoutlet mall in alabama. but he is such a sweet soul and he still loves to sing this song everytime we hang out and jam at the music store.
