Unforgettable
Ain't That Loving You

I've been playing this CD all week long! So many wonderful gems here,especially the Gamble and Huff-produced stuff.I'm a huge fan of the late Lou Rawls,any other fans here?

never heard of him

on a serious note, this compilation loooks good! my Lou Rawls collection is kinda patchy, have most stuff on vinyl, a few on CD, and many tracks spanned over various Philly compilations etc... since I don't have the time to compile my own Best-Of from those sources this CD looks like a good pick

well,maybe this will refresh your memory this just might be my favorite song of all time

70s soul classic of the day: "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" by Lou Rawls (1976)

(written by Gamble and Huff)

You'll never find,as long as you live
someone who loves you tender like I do
You'll never find,no matter where you search
someone who cares about you the way I do

Whoa,I'm not braggin' on myself baby
but I'm the one who loves you
and there's no one else! No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh one else

You'll never find,it'll take the end of all time
someone to understand you like I do
You'll never find,the rhythm,the rhyme
all the magic we shared,just us two

Whoa,I'm not tryin' to make you stay,baby
but I know somehow,some day,some way

(chorus)
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss,you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

(brief instrumental interlude)

You'll never find another love like mine
someone who needs you like I do
You'll never see what you've found in me
you'll keep searching and searching your whole life through

Whoa,I don't wish you no bad luck baby
but there's no ifs and buts or maybes

(chorus)
You're gonna miss my lovin'
You're gonna miss my lovin'
I know you're gonna miss my lovin'
You're gonna miss,you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

repeat,ad lib to fade

Get this CD as soon as possible! It is just superb....one fine track after another.It's not a typical "greatest hits" compilation,but I think it's a perfect overview of Lou's career.The Gamble and Huff material from the 70s is incredible and there are several nice jazz covers.This CD even includes his big 60s hit "Love Is A Hurtin Thing".Get this CD,a bottle of wine and enjoy a nice evening with your wife.

Kool!! Now what would be great is a box set that had those, and would also include stuff like I Go Crazy, Groovy People, Tobacco Road, Natural Man, etc....
