We’re sorry, this YouTube-based jam isn’t playable here due to restrictions by its owner. Thanks for your patience while we add support for more music services!
playing fine thx...dont know singer,but know the song....is it dated?in the context of him saying?'didnt i do you right"?in other words,why you going ,i've been good with you!,yes its very dated,but only in the West...and then only of a certain social understanding. No it does not matter,its a song,take it or leave it.No need to query everything....enjoyed..as always.thx
@Nuno hahah cool! I walked into the historical reference point! I just feel that a man buying everything for a woman and that sense of relationship as a man as bread winner and that is most important in a relationship...is becoming less relevant...that's how I feel it is dated...
@corcorankelly You're right, but I think it depends on the people involved and we don't have to take a song so literally. It's a poem, there's free interpretation.More important to me, the theme and feelings involved will endure regardless of the social and cultural materialization of each period in time. It's timeless in that sense, that's what I meant. Cheers.
@Nuno When someone sings...
I bought you diamond rings
Everything, that a woman could need
I bought you cars, clothes, a home
When things were rough for me I kept on
And I am back again
Didn't I
Didn't I
Didn't I
Didn't I
There's something wrong with you
Tell Me
Bring me all your troubles dear
You look bad, you should be glad
Your leading man, always be glad, sit by home
and let me kiss your lovely lips
It's not that open to interpretation...I see what you mean though!

Also, is it playing properly?

@corcorankelly Well only didn't work for me, don't make any rash decisions:)
Nuno
Worked for me. In my view, the lyrics are not dated as in most love related songs. Didn't hear a single historical reference. Great jam btw :) Thxs
leprikon
Works! Nice jam. I don't find the lyrics to be dated either.

What a re-discovery! I could see Darondo playing at the same clubs as Curtis Mayfield, what a great sound.
dyavers
Wouldn't play the first time, so I went to your page and then it played. (MJM) My Jam Mysteries

@corcorankelly I also didn't think the words were dated and I wasn't familiar with the song but I thought it was really great.
shirl
@lynn200 Agreed so much with you.
BeeBee

The man's in pain. Luckily for him and us he's got funky guitar, lush organ and a flute. Nice orchestration.

@leprikon Cool! I love the vocal plus the whole arrangement is crystal clear! SOUL!
corcorankelly
@MikeBobCatKelly God help anyone who has to try to play the same stage on the same night as Mayfield...that's pressure! But Darondo is one cool cat!!!
corcorankelly
@dyavers I know! Pretty accurate! Some glitches sometimes...but still a great website!
corcorankelly
@lynn200 My sentiments exactly, Lynn! Read my mind! Glad you enjoyed it!

@rv I didn't know that...sad...I'm sure he was proud of what he produced musically and had every right to be....
corcorankelly
@shirl That's cool! Glad you liked it! That's what its all about!
