James sings all his songs right in the moment, especially this one. Always with so much spontaneity, heart, emotion, originality, and impossible-for-him-to-avoid undisputed sexiness. So grateful for James, and other musicians, composers and music industry people that send out this form of joy to rest of us!
On this day in 1975 {May 16th} the Drifters performed "Up On The Roof" on the NBC-TV program 'The Midnight Special'... Thirteen years earlier on November 3rd, 1962 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #5 and spent 20 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #4 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart... Three covered versions have charted on the Top 100; Cryan' Shames {#85 in 1968}, Laura Nyro {#92 in 1970}, and James Taylor {#28 in 1979} R.I.P. Rudy Lewis {1936 - 1964}
