"Something deep down in my soul said, cry girl" This is true. Your body knows before your mind when is truly over.

"The reflection of the glass I held to my lips revealed the tears running down my face" POWERFUL depiction!!

The “I was just, I was just, I was just,” repeating and getting more extreme everytime is like the definition of soul singing and it’s so good

Etta James is just timeless and that voice of hers is just in a class all of it’s own it just can’t be denied on any level …..

Couple months ago my lady and I were cruising slightly bumping this. We came to a red light when this car pulled up right next to us, it was a cop so I turned it down. Five seconds later I see them waving a flashlight at us so I turn it all the way down, lower my windows and look, it’s a lady cop and she says “you better turn that up higher”. We all laughed, I obliged, light turned green and we went out separate ways. Still one of my favorite memories with my girl.

Does anybody else hear and feel a close resemblance to Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey” ?

I’m just turned 64 remembering hearing this for the first time at 12 yrs old........on a transistor radio about the size of a deck of cards! Had it under my pillow waiting for KOMA AM radio stations to go full power! Love the old R&B tunes back then!

Lyrics
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said, cry girl
When I saw you and that girl, walking arround
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy
Than to see you, walk away from me child, and all
So you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no uh uh
I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kisses and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now baby (yeah, yeah)
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
And baby, baby (baby, baby, bay) I would rather be blind boy
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Baby, baby, baby (baby, baby, bay) I'd rather be blind now (baby, baby, bay)

Soul is when you cry but you don't know why.
