i see you that one and raise you this... the greatest love song ever written


Damn great joint. Great song. But that I miss you was futuristic for 1972. The production of i miss you is crazy. It's a masterpiece. The way them katts were still singing their asses off in the background while folk was on the phone call and the piano player playing his play, man! Man Lenny is killing it as I type this. But that i miss you was just the perfect storm. It was a team effort. I say if you remove any one element of I miss you then it wouldn't be as great. But they nailed it.
 
There are so many that it's hard to say what's "the best."

Major Harris recorded Love Won't Let Me Wait in the studio with the full complement of MFSB including the Sweeties. (Barbara overdubbed the moans later) with only a small light over his lyric stand. Many say this is the reason it has such a sensual feel to it.

Rudy Lewis was one of the premier leads for The Drifters after Clyde McPhatter and Ben E King left. The group had a studio session sceduled but Rudy was late. He was discovered dead in his hotel room, probably from an OD.
The group went into the studio and Johnny Moore was called on to take lead. (He had done lead before) By all accounts the group was in tears during the session.
This is the record that came from that session. You can hear the pain.


 
This song right here got me through a bad breakup!!

I still get choked up when I close my eyes and focus on BB King's words!

You know you done me wrong, baby
You'll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I'll still live on baby
But so lonely I'll be

Oh, the thrill is gone, baby
It's gone away for good
Someday, I know I'll be over it all, baby
Just like I know a man should

You know I'm free, free now, baby
I'm free from your spell
I'm free, free, free now
I'm free from your spell

And now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well
