    One of the things I miss the most about the 70s was there were so many male Soul/R&B singers/groups who had their own distinct voice. You could easily distinguish Joe Simon from Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Barry White from Isaac Hayes, Michael Jackson, Al Wilson, Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Teddy P, O'Jays, EWF, Ohio Players, all the Temptations lead singers, Tyrone Davis, Rick James, Billy Paul, the Isley Bros, Stylistics, Manhattans, Lenny Williams, Chi-Lites, Spinners, Frankie Beverly, Bill Withers, etc. I'm sure I missed a couple. But I think you get my point. All of these cats I mentioned had their own vocal sound. Too many of today's popular singers seem to follow the same model, it gets old real quick.

      I forgot to include two more of my fave Soul Singers, both descend from the Sam Cooke Soul Tree: Johnnie Taylor and Bobby Womack. Love, love, love they way Taylor and Womack sang. Like I said, so many great singers who gave us so much timeless great music.

    I've been down one time
    And I've been down two times
    But now I'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love
    Let me tell ya all about it
    I've been out here so very long, I've lost all my direction
    Baby when you came my way I thought I'd found my protection
    But a strong wind came into my life, surely took me by surprise
    And I can't seem to control these tears that's falling from my eyes
    I've been down one time
    And I've been down two times
    But right now I'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love
    Listen to me
    Baby I depended on you, for our love and obligation
    But now you gone and deserted me, can't you see that I'm in desperation
    I'm in the middle of a bad love storm, ew yeah I just can't let it boy I
    Looked around and all I could see, was water coming over me
    I've been down one time
    And I've been down two times
    But right now I'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love
    All I do is cry, all I do is walk around and cry
    But right now I'm drowning, oh I'm drowning in the sea of love
    I've been down one time
    I've been down two times
    But I can't control myself, I'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love
    But that's alright, I don't mind drowning for your love
    That's alright baby, hear me when I say it's alright
    You got the kind of love that make me feel alright
    You got the kind of love baby that make me cry all night long
    You got the kind of love baby make me do things I don't wanna do

    Hello from a white guy that listened to these songs on my car radio when they were new. I think things were better between us all 50 years ago. We used to have real rap sessions. Now we just have fake pretend conversations with standard fake pretend answers. We pretend that things got better in 50 years as the country today has an economy based on selling out America. Anyway this was on my mind hearing these old songs.

    The conviction of Joe Simon's voice to the emotion is what sold this song. it;s a good song, but he was the frosting on the cake the propelled it Billboard #11 general chart. Back when fewer radio stations made sure people of all backgrounds got to hear music of all kinds in one place rather than separate all of us from each other with millions of specialty stations and tell us (brain wash) what we prefer rather than letting up make up our own minds.
