My husband and I had his song I DO LOVE YOU for our wedding song 20 years ago!!!! He is one of a kind! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ no one will ever replace BILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are no singers today w/ this kind of talent & style. He really never rec'd the credit due him in his short life time. However, thanks to todays technology,a new legion of fans is born :)
My head would have exploded if I had been at chess when this stuff was recorded. I don't have the words for how incredible this wonderful sound is! Good point sir!!
Listening to Billy Stewart brings back so many memories, your music and your legacy will live on an on, rest in peace my brother from another mother !!!❤
Another day has gone by, lord And still I wait Don't you know, I'm patiently waiting? You'll never know how much I've tried To keep my faith, and it's true Yes I did, and don't you know that I did a lot, girl? She won't write or call, no she won't Seems as if, seems as if she's never coming home But, look, baby love, it's almost gone And then you'll here me crying, girl Temptation's 'bout to get me Yes, it is, don't you know my love? Temptation's about to get me Don't let it, don't let it, pretty baby Temptation's about to get me Yes it is, enough said All my faith will come tumbling down All my friends, they understand They feel, they feel the same as I do The say; she's your love You know her pretty life is you Yes it is, she loves you, you Did you know she loves you, child? Days gone by, Lord And I'm getting weaker A heart this strong gets a little weaker I know somehow, I know, If my little heart gets a little weaker, You'll here my crying Temptation's 'bout to get me Yes it is, don't you know, my love? Temptation's 'bout to get me Don't let it, don't let it, pretty baby Temptation's about to get me All I want you to say All my faith will come tumbling down Temptation's 'bout to get me Yes it is to my lovely one girl Temptation's 'bout to get me
A duet between those two greats would have been absolutely fantastic. I'm a hard-core OG who has gotten down in the trenches all my life sand not much has shaken me, but the mere thought of a duet between Billy Stewart and Linda Jones almost bring me to tears. WOW....
The first version of "Summertime" I ever heard was Billy Stewart's, and in my view is still the best I have heard -- and everybody has had a go at THAT one. This "Temptation's out to get me" is just beautiful. What a great voice, and what a great interpretation. Thank you for posting it -- it shows a man of style, talent and great gifts.
Billy Stewart, Sam Cooke, Frankie Lymon, right up to Marvin Gaye, and more I can't name here all died long before the world tired of them. The thing is their music goes on forever.
We know all about Billy on the Northern Soul scene over in England, he's a legend, i used to DJ, we only play original vinyl no poxy CD's allowed on the decks ! So i got plenty by the big man, a rare talent indeed and a tribute to the Chicago soul scene KTF
Billy stewart had a beautiful voice i remember when I first heard his song sitting in the park in 1966 his legacy and his songs will always last forever 😢
Siting In The Park, Summertime, Cross My Heart, I Do Love You, Secret Love, check him out. Mr Stewart. A talented singer - songwriter who was discovered by Bo Diddley in 1956. A voice, style and spin that has NEVER been duplicated. Billy Stewart 1937 - 1970 RIP. CLASSIC.
This badass jam just brings out all my feelings exactly what is going through my mind and body but in words I wouldn't be able to put it like this beauty of song
So sad if you listen to his songs he was a lonesome man looking for someone to love all his music reflects his emotions. Great Singer 73 yes old and I still love his music.
see folks what we need is more people like us to keep this music alive because there are few outlets where this music is played even the so called oldies stations don't really get too much deeper than the standards and I'm thinking to myself I cant be the only one who love this music.. guess I need to get podcasting or something...
Man this song is special to me I’m 33 and just came across it I always say I haven’t heard my favorite song yet and that mindset helps me find gems like this
I use to play bass guitar behind BILLY STEWART in the 60s in DC but I didn't know that he recommended this song. I also played bass guitar behind the Night brothers and I remember them recording this song ,and they boath are good. Billy, The knight brothers, and myself (DAVE) use to play music all around DC Maryland and Virginia back in the day.
Saw him live in the '60s now i'm 70 and STILL LOVE HIM!!!
Nina W Lucky you! It must've been amazing. Sad knowing how he went. Corporate negligence is quite the killer :( it took a legend out before his time
Nina W wow! I wish there was more live footage of him...
Much respect to my ol skoo ima pretty much a baby 29 i was the last of the 80s babies last of a dying breed
man I wish I would seen that..I love fat boy
My husband and I had his song I DO LOVE YOU for our wedding song 20 years ago!!!!
He is one of a kind! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ no one will ever replace BILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had never heard of him until tonight. I am completely blown away.
There are no singers today w/ this kind of talent & style. He really never rec'd the credit due him in his short life time. However, thanks to todays technology,a new legion of fans is born :)
Imagine being in the studio when this was recorded. What a band!
My head would have exploded if I had been at chess when this stuff was recorded. I don't have the words for how incredible this wonderful sound is! Good point sir!!
Wow 16 people obviously dont know good music when they hear it this song shouldnt have any dislikes
Vernon McFarland downvoting soul gems like this should be a federal crime.
There will never be another Billy.
You hit the nail right on the head Brother.
u got that right. Never
Sorry to say that my dad ( James Diggs) has pasted away on Feb. 28, 2023. The legends will live on through their music. I’m proud to be your son dad…
I love both versions, but Billy Stewart had a unique talent.
No one will duplicate or imitate his voice. He was truly one of kind.
Love, love this jam..Billy Stewart has the best oldies of all time. ❤🎧🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Two words
BILLY STEWART❤❤❤❤🎼🎼🎼 RIP
Billy Stewart sung his heart out on this ballad..Truly great talent.And amazing voice.
Great song & Oldie! Billy was & is truly great! This version & the OG one by The Knight Brothers are both great songs. Oldies are truly forever!
Beautiful voice my favorite artist thank you. Mr Billy Stewart.
Listening to Billy Stewart brings back so many memories, your music and your legacy will live on an on, rest in peace my brother from another mother !!!❤
Another day has gone by, lord
And still I wait
Don't you know, I'm patiently waiting?
You'll never know how much I've tried
To keep my faith, and it's true
Yes I did, and don't you know that I did a lot, girl?
She won't write or call, no she won't
Seems as if, seems as if she's never coming home
But, look, baby love, it's almost gone
And then you'll here me crying, girl
Temptation's 'bout to get me
Yes, it is, don't you know my love?
Temptation's about to get me
Don't let it, don't let it, pretty baby
Temptation's about to get me
Yes it is, enough said
All my faith will come tumbling down
All my friends, they understand
They feel, they feel the same as I do
The say; she's your love
You know her pretty life is you
Yes it is, she loves you, you
Did you know she loves you, child?
Days gone by, Lord
And I'm getting weaker
A heart this strong gets a little weaker
I know somehow, I know,
If my little heart gets a little weaker,
You'll here my crying
Temptation's 'bout to get me
Yes it is, don't you know, my love?
Temptation's 'bout to get me
Don't let it, don't let it, pretty baby
Temptation's about to get me
All I want you to say
All my faith will come tumbling down
Temptation's 'bout to get me
Yes it is to my lovely one girl
Temptation's 'bout to get me
A duet between those two greats would have been absolutely fantastic. I'm a hard-core OG who has gotten down in the trenches all my life sand not much has shaken me, but the mere thought of a duet between Billy Stewart and Linda Jones almost bring me to tears. WOW....
Man he could sing..what a voice!!
Billy's vocal phrasing was so unique. What a talent and what a killer version of a soul classic.
The incomparable Billy Stewart. He took skat'n to a whole -nother level! The Knight Brothers are proud!!
