What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Doesn't get much better than most of this for me. Under the phones and I'm in another zone. What a range Roy had, and never faltered at either end of it. Each song, just waiting for him to hit that note that marvels. The best of the Monument years for this compilation. Liner notes don't give you much, but this was 1972. Compilations didn't do that much back then. Loving 11 out of the 20 tracks, and only 1 bomb of Working For The Man. Just don't seem very "Roy". Very tough picking a favorite with about 5 contenders. I think Crying does it for me, sometimes literally, mood considered. Most of these live clips are from the same gig. Not sure what/when it is. TV taping maybe. They are black & white but not nearly as old as that would indicate. Excellent gig and check out the guest appearances on Candy Man, awesome! Not sure how old Roy was here, but he was no young puppy, and the voice was still there.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Working For The Man

Best Track - Crying

I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say "Hello"
Aww you wished me well, you couldn't tell

That I'd been cry-i-i-i-ng over you, cry-i-i-i-ng over you
Then you said "so long". left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying cry-i-ing
It's hard to understand but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you but it's tru-ue, so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling what can I do-o-o-o
For you don't love me and I'll always be

Cry-i-i-i-ng over you, cry-i-i-i-ng over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, cry-i-i-ing
Yeah crying, crying, o-o-o-o-ver you
