not really my style.....but somebody old must of produced this song because they are "sampling" Frankie Avalon,s song Venus from the 1950,s lol
Being a Jew, I'm not sure why I love Gospel music, but I do.

that song must be a guilty pleasure of yours.....thats ok X....i got plenty of musical guilty pleasures too..lol...just 1 example..Bryan Hyland is as white as fresh snow but his cover of the Impressions tune Gypsy Woman was pretty good
A far cry from Cheaper To Keeper..lol...........................the thing with Johnny Taylor...his songs for the most part didnt match his talent..just my opinion
I liked Brian's "Sealed With A Kiss"...
I find, like most people imho, that the songs I heard between the ages of 14 and 28 are my most loved, white, black, or whatever. The memory years... break up, make up, first kiss, first lots of stuff...
after reading your post this came instantly to my mind.....Russel Tompkins Jr...you da man
For me, the quintessential Sam Cooke hits would be For Sentimental Reasons and You Send Me
