Just discovered this via spotify suggestion. What a fabulous song. My only excuse is that i was only 9 when it was released, and I was just too young to remember it. Such a shame. Pure poetry!
Flawless, perfectly imperfect, from the bass slap to the shake of the perm, words can't truly do it justice though it's own lyrics try, one of the greatest performances of all time.

Interesting you said this. He ask that the studio pianist be replaced because they were "too good" he wanted someone who fit that more casual style of the song.
Interesting fact: The band backing him on this video is The Skeletons from my home town of Springfield Missouri. I grew up with these guys. A great band that you should look up on UA-cam! My channel has several of their videos. Cheers!
Thank you for that❤I woke up and this was playing in my head... today is 3-21-23. Not sure the last time I heard it anywhere, but it's truly unforgettable!
He cantado esta canción en mi mente durante mas de 40 años desde que era estudiante, luego se la cante a mi esposa y a mis hijas que ya son todas adultas y hasta ahora la vuelvo a escuchar y me ha hecho volver al pasado de estudiante soñador e inquieto, cuando buscaba en las paginas de los periódicos las letras de las canciones que estaban de moda, entre ellas encontré esta que siempre me gusto mucho en su momento y ahora la vuelvo a disfrutar tremendamente.
Temazo , lo escuchaba en mis madrugadas en Radio UNO y Stereo Continental , desde Costa Rica , estaba en mis apuntes de música y como fanático de la música me despertaba emociones
Nope! He was contemporary and collaborator friend of Paul Davis, another native Meridianite as am I. And brothers Jimmy and David Ruffin. I was born there, grew up on Miss. Gulf Coast in Buffet's home town, and moved back to East Central Mlss.55 yrs ago. Steve has for a few yrs now helped to revitalize the Jimmy Rodgers Music Festival in Meridian.
I listen to Romeo's Tune for many years. It never gets old. Awesome song.

If someone like rod stewart recorded this, we’d all know it. Absolute shame this wasn’t a bigger hit. Timeless hook, and a great love song
I was 9 and I remember it on the radio!
This song never gets old. Timeless classic. Listening 9/17/24

This song is great. The words and the way he sings them is out of this world.

Good song!
Wow couple skated to this song

Yes times tunes😊
Way to amped up for a love song
I was 12
Somewhat resembles Harry Chapin, especially when he gets those anguished looks on his face.
i hate this new you tube feature, taking a half of a minute to begin the videos
Not bad looking.
He sounds British, not from Mississipi. Oh well. Good song.
Nope!

Fender guitars overdose. At the very least, add a Gibson SG on rhythm. Jeez!
Love the song but.
don't hate on Fender just because they have better products.
Acting like he’s really rocking out. Then the pansy disco song begins.
Got more money than you
jealous?
He was supposed to be the next Dylan!! Dillon maybe, as in Melinda Dillon!! He sucked then and then got worse!!
