Lyrics: Eight men, four women Lord, that's the jury of love I dreamed that love was a crime I was alone, so lonely and blue You know why?

I heard the lawyer when he asked you "My love, do you really love that man?" It was eight men and four women (Guilty) How could they be so blind? (Guilty) How could they? I know they sat there and called true love a crime This is what killed me But a tear rolled down my cheek I felt so sorry for you You know why?

I grew up back in the day when queer people could be arrested simply for doing queer things. Think Bayard Rustin. I always thought this song was an almost perfect analogy and commentary for the reality gays faced back then.

Love all these great blues songs grew up with a lot of them
My papaw would. Play these on repeat Drinking brown liquor 🥃 🚬🃏so mine memories. Oct 20!!! 2023 Friday
Great backup singing on this killer tune by Donna & Sandra Rhodes and Charlie Chalmers, who added a lot to Al Green's and Ann Peebles' music.
Thanks for identifying them. They definitely need some recognition for the job they did on this cut.
@@barrys4922 Howard Grimes doesn't get enough recognition either. His drums backed a lot of Al Green, Ann Peebles, and O.V.'s hits.
this video alongside the song is beautiful
You did it again, a song I have never herd of by an artist I have never herd of and I regret not hearing it before. thank you.
KingJackass here's another courtroom classic. Georgia courtroom Clarence Carter

Lyrics:
Eight men, four women
Lord, that's the jury of love
I dreamed that love was a crime
I was alone, so lonely and blue
You know why?
Because eight men and four women
Lord, they found me guilty of loving you
(Loving you)
As they were taking me away you were taking
I saw you when you were taking the witness stand
You know what? I heard the lawyer when he asked you
"My love, do you really love that man?"
It was eight men and four women
(Guilty)
How could they be so blind?
(Guilty)
How could they?
I know they sat there and called true love a crime
This is what killed me
But a tear rolled down my cheek
I felt so sorry for you
You know why?
Because in my heart I knew, oh yes, baby I knew
That they would find you guilty too
Judge, your honor and to the jury
I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
That we are innocent and true love is not a crime
Lord, that's the jury of love (Lord, that's the jury of love)
A mean judge, a mean jury
Oh, that's the jury of love
(Lord, that's the jury of love)
Oh, that's just the way it goes, baby
They found me guilty of love...
True love is not a crime but that video is a crime....
Dang. I didn't even know there was a video with it until you mentioned it. I was simply grooving and reading the comments.
Queria só essa intro em loop
I mean the background is cutting up. They sound so good!
O.V.
🇧🇷🇧🇷
When you only needed one man with soul and 3 women to create a song
Déjame volar con todos mis hermanos.
El cielo no lo alcanzo. Dios, extiendeme tu mano.
Alguém sabe o nome desse som de fundo? Logo no começo da música?
Também quero saber
yazzzzzzzz
I'm trying to take a sample of this but there isn't a single beat where he lets the vocals ride.

Great song, what is it about? Any reference to a particular criminal case?
zakonnik79 none whatsoever all just the brothers imagination an writing skill

I grew up back in the day when queer people could be arrested simply for doing queer things. Think Bayard Rustin. I always thought this song was an almost perfect analogy and commentary for the reality gays faced back then.
Thanks for the sub! :D
K
I'm just guessing: Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies? Otherwise, can somebody explain the video to me?
and me
Howard Grimes
I would have never thought that his back ground on this song is a white group. They had me fooled!
So quem sabe sabe kkjkk
What is the background video about?
hahaha, way to sully a classic tune ;)
Well the background singers are white. Maybe that explains the video. I don't know.
bpm?
This video is way off
This shit looks like a Polish flag...
