i totally love the song '39, so does my 35 yr. old daughter..she was raised on GOOD music, i made sure of that when the kids were kids. i thought we were the only two people that remember such a great classic. now it's time to pass my fantastic taste in music on to the grandkids... it's a grandma's job!! i tried to take two of my grandsons (the oldest two, who are 9 and 10) to ozzfest last year...needless to say, my daughter was not agreeable... maybe someday... and this year it's free??? my favorite price. lol . my sister in law, may move back from florida, to be at home when she dies. she never knew her mom, we raised her, she went moved to fla. many, many years ago. but she wants to come back home, to be with me, she's always felt i was her mom. anyway, she wants me to be with her when she goes... she has AIDS, and is scared she's not gonna be able to get home in time. but i told her, that she WILL be going to ozzfest with me this year...if she does make it home... my heart breaks for her. she's been in my heart since she was about 3 or 4, and i will do whatever i can to get her back home.. she has no one in florida, anymore. she's alone and scared.. and i made her a promise that i would have her in my arms when she dies... sorry, kind of got off the subject here...

Hi Sadlady and Farin. I'm pretty sure it'll be Jerry Butler you're thinking of. He does have a deep voice a bit like Lou Rawls. The Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell one is a different song. I'll see if it's on You Tube. I nominated The Devil Went Down To Georgia once before, but it didn't get enough votes to make the Ten. Great song !

:)

Here's an audio link to...

For Your Pecious Love - Jerry Butler & The Impressions

His first Hit, from 1958. This the one Sadlady ???

And if it's not...

Your Precious Love - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

but they don't sound like Lou Rawls !

I'll let you two work it out. Goodnight. :)

Ya know, I wasn't really all that sure how many people had even heard '39. You never really hear about it, and I'd just found it for the first time about a week ago. On top of that, I asked my friend (who's more knowledgeable than I am on classic rock) and she didn't know what song I was talking about, which is rather bizarre. :P Glad I'm not nominating something that only I like.
