Willie Clayton - "Love Don't Hurt Me" (Official Video)

I just love this song.

Love don't hurt me like it did the first time
It had me almost crazy, thought I was going to lose my mind
Love don't hurt me like it did the first time
Had me pacing the floor, I almost lost my mind

Not too many artists can do ballads better than Willie Clayton!  This one is beautiful.

I'm gonna get better before I lose my mind

Jeter Jones ft Arthur Young - "Flashlight"

Arthur Young says that he met this girl.  She was so good that he has a flashlight in the daylight looking for the lady from that night! Sounds like he is hooked! lol

Arthur Young has been consistent in the hits he's been making.  True southern soul music!

Isaac Lindsey - "You've Got to Hurt Before You Heal"

A beautiful song - when your tears fall down down your face, they also fall down into your heart.  And when you think the pain is gone, don't fool yourself.  I love this song but I know it was written by someone who had his heart broken.  You can feel his pain.  I also know that there's joy in the morning!

You never know how long the wound will take to heal
It could take months, it could take years
But that's the way love works
You've got to hurt before you heal

Here's the original song from Bobby 'Blue' Bland:

Johnnie Taylor - "What Good Is A Man"

Johnnie Taylor!!  I love you!!!!  This is one of those songs that touches me to my core!💞

What good is a man -  if not for loving you?  What good are these arms - if not for holding you? In all this world, I know one thing is true.  I can't be a man if I can't have you!!

I can't be a man if I can't have you!!
