Andre' Lee - "I'm Better"

Andre' Lee has been around for a minute and it's good to see that he's still recording and has a video to go with his latest single.    He said his woman changed his life and he's not the same man he used to be - he's better!

"Have A Good Time" - J. Red the Nephew featuring Theo Huff

J. Red is one of those versatile artists who has a great voice and presence.  Not only does he record great music, he also has a good ear for recognizing good talent.  In "Have A Good Time," J. Red hooks up with Theo Huff and their voices blend well for a great duet. They're just having a good time!!

Little Milton - "You're My Strongest Weakness"

I love the great work that Little Milton recorded.  I heard it this morning on the Lewis Dee Show.  Thank you for sharing it!!

Little Milton says that your love is his worst habit.  I don't know, this girl does him so wrong - I think he needs to break this habit and find someone who knows how to treat him! 🤔

You're my strongest weakness
Do anything you wanna do
Oh, you're my strongest weakness, baby
Do anything you wanna do
You know your love is my worst habit
Look at the changes I let you put me through

Listen, I used to have a good woman
To always treat me right
But I messed up my good thing
Hanging out with you at night
I gave you all my money
Now you wanna be loose and free
You say I don't have class enough
And now you're running around on me

Chorus
You're my strongest weakness
Do anything you wanna do, oh baby
You know your love is my worst habit
Oh, look at the changes I let you put me through

One more thing,
I prayed that time would change you
And one day you'd be only mine
But my only consolation is
You still come home some time
But meanwhile I have to suffer
The whole time that you're gone
But your love is sure worth waiting for
Whenever you bring it home

Chorus

Listen,
I'm still praying that time will change you
And one day you'll be only mine
But my only consolation is
You still come home some time
But meanwhile I have to suffer
The whole time that you're gone
But your love is sure worth waiting for
Whenever you bring it home

Chorus

Oh baby, don't do it to me
My strongest, strongest, strongest
Oh, you're my strongest weakness, baby
You know, you know I love you, yeah
Yes I do, girl
Oh, you're my strongest weakness

Nathaniel Kimble - "Thinking of You 24/7"

What a very pretty ballad.   Nathaniel lets his girl know that he's thinking about her all the time - 24/7, morning, noon, and suppertime.  He can't get her out of his mind.  Sounds like love to me. These are the words everyone wants to hear. 💕

Nathaniel Kimble is one of those rare southern soul artists with a website: http://nathanielkimble.com. Take a look at his bio and other info.
