I listened to this track on my way to job in city of London I hated. I stopped the future. Got off train 🚆 and went home and then went into music! I still happy today. 😁
This was "this" Paul Williams' best album in his career regeneration from a big band jazz singer. Mr. Billy Paul with dubs of Malcolm and Martin! But rember Bobby Kennrdy and Medgar Evers ..... Louie Armstrong! Open the Door!
I didn't understand what the song was about when I was a kid. Just enjoyed the music. Listening to it today with the lyrics, I never gave it it's true respect. Tip my hat to Mr. Billy Paul.
Mas de 50 años hablando de inclusion!! Esta cancion, versionada por quien sea, es maravillosa, atemporal, unica, Gracias a todos los que la han cantado y siguen haciendolo. Un HIMNO !!
Billy Paul, is a unique page in music, his voice, the arrangements, his songs, covers were wonderful, they sounded like a new masterpiece, he is timeless and will always be remembered. Billy Paul, é uma página única na música, sua voz, os arranjos, suas musicas, covers eram maravilhosos, soavam como uma nova obra prima, ele é atemporal e sempre será lembrado.
Oh yeah man !!....Billy Paul killing it...Changed the lyrics around a little bit...but in a good way...Dr. Martin Luther King J.R. ....Louis Armstrong. ..Love it man.
Thank you Gamble-Huff for such a wonderful production. With Billy Paul at the helm, the great Jack Faith arranged this beautiful song. Thank you Billy Paul, Gamble-Huff, and Jack Faith for the sound track of our lives. TSOP at its best!!
@@compteprivefr well.. yes he did .. but without the above mentioned contributers.. this would have been a bland and unforgettable song.. like theMcCnty version was
@@alisonl6723 The McCartney version reached #3. This version was nowhere near as successful. The production on the original is also way better. I like Billy Paul's performance better but everything else in this cover version is worse than the original. so yeah, thank you paul McCartney for writing this awesome song.
I still cant understand why this was used for a rubbish scam postcode lottery advert . This and the original Wings version are as good as good each other. God bless Billy Paul, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff
Nas duas versões, esta canção é um Clássico! É que, na versão do ''Billy Paul'', ela se torna mais imersiva; não sei explicar como, mas a "pegada" é mais forte! O cara canta com a alma mesmo...Parece que tal música foi feita pra ele! ;-)
Essa versão é sensacional,muito diferente da original, mais viva, uma levada DISCO, os arranjos dos metais, das cordas na harmonia, um baixo muito legal. Sem falar de partes dos discursos do Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X. Sensacional !

Moi je vous aime tous ces américains jeux de la musique extraordinaire et cela restera toujours dans mon je l'ai toujours dit j'aurais pu être un américain je serai l'homme le plus heureux je ne connais pas l'Amérique😂😂😂😂😂😂
Billy Paul's voice is pure magic! His songs take me back to a golden era of soul music
I stood outside a small local restaurant/bar when he was playing there, to listen to him sing.
Sir Paul McCartney wrote this sweet little gem! Good music is colorless!!!!
Meu brother não sabia que era do genial paul ,dois gênios eternos!!! um abraço!👍👍🍺🍺
It should of been an Beatles song 😊
I listened to this track on my way to job in city of London I hated. I stopped the future. Got off train 🚆 and went home and then went into music! I still happy today. 😁

Its a Paul McCartney original, recorded by his Wings.
its about Jehovahs Witnesses
@@babybison 😂 under-rated comment.
@@nunodirosso Billy Paul changed the names mentioned in the song to those of civil rights leaders, among others.
@@babybison Absolutely not about Jehova Witnesses!!!

Who's here because of that additive lottery advert on telly that uses this song?!! Once I hear it, its stuck in me head all day!! Bloody good tune!
It's a scam advert. Postcode lottery. It's a load of flannel
Yeaaa
Iam here because of the lottery adverts
Exactly why
Me tooooooo, bing bong!
Me.
Frackin advert.
Absolutely immense 👏👏💚
The contemplative piano groove works as 70s pop/rock *and* as upbeat Philly soul, maybe even better.
Classico...Billy Paul and Philadelfia ..its a good
superbe! Merci 😍

I still cant understand why this was used for a rubbish scam postcode lottery advert . This and the original Wings version are as good as good each other. God bless Billy Paul, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff
Umas das musicas mais lindas que já escutei em toda minha VIDA!
O foda é que é essa música não é a original
A original é do paul McCartney
Nas duas versões, esta canção é um Clássico! É que, na versão do ''Billy Paul'', ela se torna mais imersiva; não sei explicar como, mas a "pegada" é mais forte! O cara canta com a alma mesmo...Parece que tal música foi feita pra ele! ;-)
Seja de quem for. Billy Paul arrebentou nessa versão maravilhosa !!!!!!!!!!!!! Obs.: Paul McCartney também é fodástico !!!!!!!!!!
Essa versão é sensacional,muito diferente da original, mais viva, uma levada DISCO, os arranjos dos metais, das cordas na harmonia, um baixo muito legal. Sem falar de partes dos discursos do Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X. Sensacional !
Repent turn around so God can blout out all our sins .😊
Excelente
