Thanks to all the fans of my dad who loved and yet supports his music! May God continue to keep and bless you all during this pandemic.
This has always been for me the definitive soul ballad, and the very best rendition.
Wishing you and yours all the best.
His voice, his performance, his composure was a blessing. His voice and conviction never fails to move me.
@@landroverwriterusa you are so kind for those words of encouragement! You can also listen to his grandson “Dozzy Daniel” Guard up is the name of the project. Be safe and happy holidays to you and your family!
This is one of the great songs ever.
Thank you, your father, and God bless the family.
I love this song and sing it too but there's no one who can do it after you hear James Carr doing it.
"When they come out, does it hurt?"
"Every time."
Nice reference
R.i.p Wolverine
Funny thing is that you for sure came from the wolverine trailer where someone else had this exact same comment.
@@excelsian512 funny how only you complain about it instead of simply enjoying the reference and good music.
@@excelsian512 Yea dude, just shut up and dont be a hater
This is my grandfather! Man he was a hell of a singer!
+SKWOD_Zel he is a hell of a singer
What a voice
+SKWOD_Zel your grandpa put out one of my favorite soul records!
+SKWOD_Zel You should be so proud. He is a huge talent.
I always felt that James was one of the soul great who was criminally underrated. Your gandpa's voice could move a dead man.
I’m now 80 at the twilight of life. This song has new meaning for me since I first heard James Carr’s soulful lament
Yall generation had the greatest music.
Wolverine's melancholy captured perfectly in this song. Can't wait!
Came here for it never new this song
Came from wolverine trailer, such an amazing song.. ! HI all and have a nice day!
I thought I’d be the only one to comment on that but wow! Even though I do like the Wolverine as a character, I watched that teaser and heard this song and immediately knew they hit the jackpot! Absolute perfect choice and excellent song! Love discovering music and artists this way. Thank you Mr. Carr. I will listen to more of your work 👍🏾
@@jean-gerardbeauport6915 I saw your comment too! Guess that goes to show how precise this song in invoking similar feelings in everyone that watched the Wolverine trailer.
Im another here cause of the wolverine trailer!
Goes perfectly with Wolverine, this mature overtone of melancholy...
I'm hoping he goes "Feelin' lucky bub?"
Wolverine life was a comedy?
@@Dogmaguy74 Nope that means sad
@@ethanritter9090 You dingus... I know what it means i was asking if Wolverine has a shitty life filled with a series of unfortunate events.
@@Dogmaguy74 eh sibling rivalry when he’s over 100 years old seems kinda comedic
The son of a Mississippi preacher who grew up singing in church. He was bipolar and died of lung cancer at age 59. How could his life be so rough and yet he bring us such beauty and soulful feelings.
This is exactly how
"A candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long"
GREGG ALLMAN DID AN AMAZING COVER OF THIS SONG...
Bascombloge, isn't that most always the case? Brilliance/genuis and mental illness are just a line you can cross--many creative and highly intelligent people suffer or have tortured personal lives, Van Gogh, Einstein, and here, James carr
@@jschuler53 Very true Lesser Gracie,very true!
Who is here because you have good taste in music?
Me.

I’ve been alive 44 years ,and never heard this beautiful song until today.
M.E ~ I’ve been on the planet for 72 years and just heard this song and this artist for the first time. Goes to show , you don’t know how you will affect this earth long after you’re gone. Make it good.
I have been alive longer than that and never heard James Carr until today. Love his voice.
Just heard it today also, Beautiful and Touching
Same here. But im 60. Tales from the Loop.
My neighbor never heard it before either, and his mom still lives in Hattiesburg! He comes over once a week or so. He says he's checking to see if i need anything, but i think I'm helping him too.
I'm worried because he is worried. So we listened to this and then we listened to some Mavis Staples because i heard that she is still alive and canceled her tour for this summer.
Thank you Sony for helping me find this beautiful song.
Lyrics:
At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me
At the dark end
Of the street
You and me
I know time is gonna take it's toll
We have to pay for the love that we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh, but our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away
To the dark end
Of the street
They're gonna to find us
They're gonna to find us
They're gonna to find us lord, someday
You and me
At the dark end
Of the street
You and me
And when the daylight hours roll round
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet just walk on by
Oh, darling, please don't cry
Tonight, we'll meet
At the dark end
Of the street
Thanks
nice work
Who wrote these lyrics? Had a lot of pain in their heart.
@@leeboudreaux6698 Dan Penn was one of the writers. He is on UA-cam singing it.
You know why you’re here...you know DAMN well why you’re here Bub.

I'm here because of The History of Rock Music in 500 Songs. Great Podcast! Check it out!!!
I knew that the WOLVERINE trailer would raise the views on this song. Great song 🎶. Soon to be great video game.

@@kmyoung3956 Uplifting but heartbreaking at the same time!! For broken hearted lovers the world over...
Pl
Thank you for putting the lyrics here. Heartbreaking but made the song even more soulful to listen to.
It is amazing how a movie or a game can introduce you to other media. Young or old. Because of the Wolverine teaser im obsessed with this song. Such a great vibe
The same bro.
Same
It’s a classic for my grandma (black) remembering how she had hide to meet her white husband
@@868AIB dude i work in retail and had this playing, this old white lady stopped and started crying. She told me a story just like this. Except she wasnt able to marry the dude cause her parents moved her. Shit was so horrible back then
I'm here because of Tales from the Loop.
James' life was blighted by soul-destroying depression and illiteracy, yet he made some of the greatest soul music of the period. This track is a stone-cold classic.
He deserved better.
The man that wrote this song was just an old country white guy from NW Alabama and you could never guess how he wrote such great music.
Dan Penn is a seriously talented guy,white or not. I grew up hearing this version,but Dan ,s version is chilling .It all comes down to how he responds to his experiences.By the way it was his songwriting partner Spooner Oldham ,who came up with the electric piano tiff,that became aretha Franklin s ,I never loved a man ( the way I love you).
Beefy Tune of the Day
Take beef years to do this cover 😂
What a wonderful song. Respect from Austria in 2024.
Fair Warning: there's gonna be ALOT of Wolverine Comments.
Not complaining.
The Trailer is awesome.

INSOMNIAC WOLVERINE TEASER THANKYOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW OF THIS MASTERPIECE!
Been listening to this for years and years it never gets old because everyday it's a true thing for someone, I wish we could bring back the real soul music like this
Thanks to the Wolverine teaser I'm here. My grandpa actually used to listen to this song and I forgot about it until I heard it. ❤
I first heard this wonderful song performed by the Oysterband. It was so good I had to find who wrote it. What a track and what a fantastic all-time contribution to the world of music. Thank you Mr Carr.
The best version of this song ever recorded. A true soul man, the world is a bit less joyful without this gifted singer.
Emotional...... a beautiful woman I was dating for over 5years sent this song to me the night of our break up, what a voice, what a great song, so relevant to our relationship!
I'm thankful whenever mainstream media brings attention to relatively hidden gems, or things I wouldn't come across on my own. It's hard to find the good stuff when there's just so much stuff out there.
@VintageBeef sent me here and i really enjoyed this song. So much feeling and soul in the older music. Not like today's music
Depends what you're listening to. There's plenty of rhythm and blues, soul, and jazz out there being made today by artists who are forced into obscurity because their genres "don't sell", or it "isn't what the public wants to hear", but that's literally what producers said about James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, as well as countless other great and talented musicians who are now considered classics, who we couldn't imagine the world without. Unfortunately, it was often, and probably still is the case that the most soulful and underrated artists were black, and severely discriminated against (given bum deals, getting ripped off by their record companies). Sadly, if you turn on the radio today you hear the same 8 songs on repeat, so I agree that the radio is no place to hear soulful tunes (some stations have jazz/soul/blues programs, and are an exception to this).
Listen to Anastacia. She has some amazing soul tracks.
Heard this song on Amazon Prime - Tales From The Loop season 1 episode 3. Fantastic.
Just got to that scene!
jbf16falcon me too jus had to hear it again! XO
I just heard it there too. I knew other versions I didn't know the original though. man what a voice!
Me too! I looked it up because I wasn't sure if it was real. I am so glad it is! I love it.
great song, great series, great episode!
The Commitments brought me here but Mr. Carr brought me home. Incredible. It's a shame that this artist and song don't get more airplay and recognition.
My mom used to play this song never knew who the artist was awe my mom gone now but I remember her playing it when I was a little girl
@@william0112 That's so sweet!
ana and fuckin and.......
Because suffering is universal, and so is love and beauty. To know one, implies intimate knowledge of the other.
Everyone in a few more hours:
"I Came after the trailer of the Wolverine Game"
You're not wrong, but this is a banger!
@@birchbongos It sure is
I'm all for it. People hearing this great tune.
Same here bro
I mean.. yes. Song is amazing!
I’ve been alive 58 years ,and never heard this beautiful song until today. Pure bliss
The piano and sax on this song is something extremely special and phenomenal ❤❤❤
One of the best soul singers that has ever graced this earth. R.I.P James Carr
Too many people are unfamiliar with him, and that's a shame.
Heard this while watching the t.v. show Counterpart and fell in love with it. Had to come and find it. They just don't make music like this anymore....
Me toooo !!! Omg in love with it!
That’s what exactly happened to me last night!
I found it in tv show tales from the loop
Absolutely👍
Same here. Great show. Great song
Just went and visited this mans grave for the first time today. I live about 20 mins away from it in memphis tn. He was one of the most underrated and underappreciated soul singers there ever was. He is truly missed. Rip Mr Carr
Wow, yes , one of the greats.
This has got to be one of the best soul ballads I've ever heard.
Wolverine trailer makers knocked it out the park with this song choice. It’s clear that the movie Logan has paved the way for more mature, melancholic, old school interpretations of the character.
Absolutely
I've never heard this song until today and had to buy the audio CD. James had a beautiful voice!
Amazing song! Need to dig deeper
This fits Wolverine so well
I learned of this song when it was played on the Hijack series finale. Beautiful soulful song done by a man with a beautiful voice.
Just heard this on the TV show #InteriorChinatown
Totally blown away when I read the lyrics. Started crying because the thought of someone having to walk past their love on the street, and only being able to love in the shadows, broke me. While I've known all my adult life this happened -
to have someone sing, our love is a sin, with such a deep melodic voice with conviction brought me right there.
These two are most likely gone now but...To James Carr and whoever green lighted it, to go to production at that time, I bow low to your courage for putting a song out which could have destroyed careers. Everyone knows this isn't about an affair. It is about love deemed wrong by those I share the colour of my skin with. And it is about trying to navigate not being able to walk away from your heart while also trying to stay safe. That is love. That is a song of importance.
Bravo.
This is the best southern soul song ever. James Carr had a hell of a voice!
Ansioso por Marvel's Wolverine
Yeah
Somos dois amigão.
É nois!
Tmj
Sim geral tá kkk
Last night was the First time I heard this song and this singer. Tears rolling down, I was so captivated by this voice and the lyric !
Dear lord this singer has the most beautiful voice 💜 please find and add more of him x
I see his adult child & g/child are here. I pray you are fabulous singers too 🙏 Take a lot to live up to James, you must be so proud.
My g/children are sadly lacking in the music department, you only have to look at the charts to know what I mean. Their generation has to 'listen' with their eyes, unfortunately.
James Carr - what a voice, great song.
Damn right.
An excellent song for the Wolverine. And an excellent cigar song. 🔥
If insomniac knocks the wolverine game outta the park, I vouch that we put them as the head of the entire marvel franchise game division!
Waiting for wolverine to say "Feelin' lucky Bub?" or something as a catchline looking at the guy with the knife
They should've made Marvel's Avengers instead of Square Enix.
It's not a terrible idea for the most part though I feel some franchises are suited for other developers. Deadpool=Platinum Games, Punisher=Naughty Dog, or Hangar studios if you wanna go cheap. Ect ect
@@jordanhoward9678 insomniac can make them better tho.
Seems like a lot of work for such a small development company, i kind of got worried seeing theyre making wolverine whilst making spiderman 2, hopefully they didnt get bought by a huge company and are given due dates if so we’re damned
Get video of The Committments. Great movie and a fabulous singer that just kills this song. I will play it again and again!
Valeu Wolverine por me mostrar isso! Fantástico.
Ate q fim um brasileiro aqui pensei q era só eu
Que música maravilhosa amigos, obrigado Wolverine!
@@Israel_RC kakak Tmj!
@@mateusalves1775 né?

Heard this on 'Counterpoint' and it was soooo awesome! James Carr is a gifted singer.
Heard this at the end.of.the last episode of Hijack on Apple TV + yesterdsy brilliant vocal.
Just heard this for the first time on The tv show “counterpart “
Brilliant, I am now a fan of James Carr.
I love his voice & delivery...what a tone! Blessings to all!❤
I discovered this beautiful song through the series Tales From The Loop..... Wonderful song. Greetings from Brazil
Love, love, love this James Carr masterpiece. RIP CL, thank you for being part of my life when I needed you the most. RIP James Carr.
Tales from the Loop (Amazon Prime) episode 3 brought me here. Awesome tune!
Love this song. Grew up with it. Keep playing it over and over. Soul music is the foundation of our music today. What wonderful, soul searching, beautiful music...
Yeah, me too.
I'm here after the "Marvel's Wolverine" - Teaser. I'm glad for this. Beautiful Song! 💓💎😏
You should be so proud to have a grandfather like this.! Maybe it will take 50 years before the world catches up to his sincere delivery.
James Carr's performance set the standard. But, a significant portion of the credit has to go to Chips Moman and Dan Penn who wrote this song. They were part of that blue-eyed soul movement in Muscle Shoals and Memphis. At a time when racial bias was rampant in the South, all these people saw was great music.
Chips produced a few Elvis sessions back in 69. That music is considered by many to be the best Elvis ever did. Chips was a genius no doubt.
Beautifully written song Michael. And Penn and Moman get little credit in history it seems.
Dan Penn, he wrote some Great Songs!!!
Michael Spangler thanks you for your knowledge and contribution
Blue eyed soul ain't shit without the brown eyed, handsome men.
I completely forgot I bought this album on vinyl until tonight and this song brought me back to the first time I heard it.....such a fucking gem ❤❤❤
My dad was always singing this song to me, when I was going to sleep... Now I live on my own, oh, the time is flying sooo fast.
I am new to being a James carr fan.. my granny used to play Otis Redding Sam cook and the pointer sisters and let me dance on her feet.. She died on the 28th of June and I discovered James the next week...She would have loved him ! I wish I could have shared his music with her...
when james carr says "they're gonna find us" there's so many layers its profound
Just think an old white country boy wrote this great piece of music.
The new Wolverine game brought me here. I'm very hyped for it but I'm so happy it showed me this song! I love this song it hits deep for me.
Thank you Counterpart.
My mama would love this. ♥
Written by Memphis writers Dan Penn and Chips Moman this is one of the best cheatin' songs ever written and sung by one of the the best, if not THE best Southern soul singer of them all. This was Carr's greatest hit, however, his career was hampered by a crippling bi-polar condition and he never really achieved the success his exceptionally fine singing so richly deserved.. He passed away at the ridiculously young age of 58 in a Memphis nursing home in early January 2001.
I’m 70 years old I bought this when I was 16 a truly classic heart felt soul number with a message that never really got heard or felt by enough people , Sam Cooke’s change evokes the same plea.
I hope one day our world will be one where these songs won’t need to be written anymore . RIP the great james carr
Yep Peter, in the same age bracket, knew this as one of our party soul songs as a teenager growing up.
I just heard this song play in the last Episode of Hijack. So power, sad n haunting.
At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me
At the dark end
Of the street
You and me
I know time is gonna take it's toll
We have to pay for the love that we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh, but our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away
To the dark end
Of the street
They're gonna to find us
They're gonna to find us
They're gonna to find us lord, someday
You and me
At the dark end
Of the street
You and me
And when the daylight hours roll round
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet just walk on by
Oh, darling, please don't cry
Tonight, we'll meet
At the dark end
Of the street
This has been one of my favorite songs for a very long time. The first time I heard it was in the movie Eddie and the Cruisers. Just watched Hijack and this played over the closing credits of episode 7. It reminded me how much I love this song. ♥
Whoa. I've seen that movie 1000 times lol. According to my parents, it was my favorite when I was a kid lol. I remember the main songs but not this one.
Ironically, this is one of my favorite guitar players favorite songs apparently. According to Gregg Allman, his brother Duane loved this song. One of his faves. Duane being my favorite guitar player.
My favourite soul singer of all time. What a voice. R.I.P James
I’m 60 and I’d never heard of him or this song. He sure had a magnificent voice and I’m glad his music finally got some air time!
My grandfather Quinton Claunch produced this track. I remember him picking up James Carr to head to the studio quite often. RIP both of them!
Thank you, Beefytunes for this amazing song.
I’ve never heard this before they had it on a movie soundtrack called The Ghost Who Walks and I’ll be 54 Monday I will be playing this just for the memories it brings back ❤️
Was just watching The ghost who walks and they played it. I put Shazam up to the tv and found out who sings it. Good song. I’m 53. 😬
Since Wolverine’s new game is going to be emotional and suspenseful, this song fits perfectly
If I hadn't watched the Commitments, I would have missed hearing this great song. I regret that it took 50+ years to listen to James Carr's original version. Thanks, Ace Records!
So stoked, I found this song due to Diamanda Galas's cover of it. It's such an amazing song, and both versions have so much soul in them too. 🖤
Isn't it fascinating that a Video Game Teaser can lead you to coming across such a beautiful song
This is truly beautiful. My kind of music.
"you and me" three words that define romance better than "i love you"!!!!
70 here and I've never heard it either. Love it.
For me, this is the definition of songwriting perfection. The incredible voice and instrumentals just make it sublime.
What the hell has happened to this type of music ?? When soul was SOUL, love it.period.
I am really surprised, there is not more hits, on this song. An underrated song, and artist.
percy sledge does a great job also
Wow! What a fantastic singer!!!
I like how that guitar echoes and then fades out both at the beginning and at the end of this track!
It's certainly a beautiful detail.
Kai Anttila I know, right. Most definitely beautiful detail.
TRue Darkness in dark ends of the street
How many talented people of this race fame has been suppressed is unspeakable.
An absolutely fantastic voice.
This is the kind of song that saves people...you feel it and it moves you to tears.
When I was a kid, we argued that sampling old songs for rap music gave new interest in those songs. That argument remains as I see kids here referencing the Wolvie game trailer. It's a beautiful thing.
Absolutely magical. I can't get over how great this is. No matter how many times I listen. Unbelievable.
I'm on my 10th repeat.
One of the best songs ever written...
Wow...song gave me chills at one point. Need to find more of this guy's music...
This and after laughter by wendy Rene are my favourite black soul tunes.....coming from a 21 year old brit btw.
I appreciate this music more than most Americans.
ty insomniac games for bringing this amazing song into my life! 💞💖💞
I’m here because I heard the song on an Episode of “Tales from the Loop”….. the song is mesmerizing.
