      Sorry, but he's dead. Don't worry, he didn't stop being him until the end. I've just found him too, so glad I'll be able to delve through so much richly authentic music

    The blues is written from the heart. This blues song comes from the heart of a man missing his woman, blues from a lonely heart. TJ White wrote the song, Brooke Benton made it famous, TJ put his heart and soul into the performance. I still get chills when I listen to it. Thank you, TJ White.

      Tony Joe White wrote it and gave it to Brook Benton. Originally. Listen to Tony Joe White describe the writing of this song.

    This song was originally recorded and released by him in 1969. It was laid out differently, but it was non-the less great! This 1980 live version is nothing short of perfection.

      He was and is a true legend.

    You know, in the video, Merle Haggard said he felt Tony was lazy because Tony would not tour with him. That really made me angry when I saw that. Tony had talent Merle could only dream of. Plus, maybe Tony had more discipline to not spend so much time drunk or otherwise messed up like Merle did. I appreciate Merle......but, Tony was on a much higher level as a musician/performer. Merle depended on redneck-hillbilly flimflam to make his mark. There was and remains a HUGE difference.
