Garethx Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 The definitive version of this mammoth deep soul piece? The Jarvis Jackson original on Sims or Woodard's cover version on Chant, often cited as the greatest blue-eyed soul waxing. I'd love to know what other ballad fans think.
Billy Freemantle Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Would love to hear these. Have heard neither. For some reason, I can't listen to the sounds in "the gallery" so that wouldn't work.

I'd love to know what other ballad fans think. ...Jarvis Jackson, by a country mile. Mind you the man Woodard's is pretty mind blowing in its own right, but JJ's was, I think, the first record to ever make me spontaneously burst into tears, such is the power of the emotion in its simple, upfront delivery. I still think it's the very essence of what soul and country songwriting is about - honest and direct in a way that todays equivalent could never be... TONE
