And I like it, even if it's more than 50 years too late. That's the best of YT, lots of people saved this kind of recordings and took the trouble to post it here for people like me to enjoy.

Best song about a woman married to a a gay man. Way before it’s time.

@Vinterfrid

3 ай бұрын

@@Deborah-so8mv No, that is incorrect - it's not about marrying a gay man. Read what the composer said: Dunbar continued: "They said this song is a smash in the gay community. And I said, gay community? They said, yeah man, it's a smash. And I says, why is it that? And they said, well it's what the lyrics are saying. She said the guy couldn't make love to her so they figured he had to be gay! And I said oh no! And I remembered when they said that to me and I listened back to the song and there was a part in there... because I remembered when we were editing that tune, it was too long, so we had to cut a section out of the tune so the section we cut out of the song really brought the whole song [story] together." The lyrics which Dunbar cut in the final edit which he was referring to were made to reduce the length of the single from three minutes 43 seconds down to the final two minutes 53 seconds. These were taken from the first verse - "And the memories of our wedding day, and the night I turned you away" - these were effectively substituted with, "And the memories of what love could be, if you were still here with me"; and a larger bridge - "Each night, I lie awake and I tell myself, the vows we made gave you the right, to have a love each night." - which is repeated again later in the song, cutting 18 seconds twice over from the song. With further refinements in the arrangements, including a heavier, richer bassline, and a different vocal take, a further 14 seconds were shaved off the final released seven-inch single.

Lawd have mercy! That's why I know racism is taught because I didn't see what color they were, I just saw how BEAUTIFUL they all were, and still are. Beautiful memories from my youth! 👍

Still as good now as in 1970 !!!
