I had a talk with my man last night
He reassured me everything was still all right
As the night grew light
My blues got bright
He made me know
I was the star of the show
He said he was mine all to myself
And I won’t, and he won’t, ever need nobody else
He took me in his arms
And turned on my love
Ooh, yes he did, yes he did, yes he did, oh, oh
I had a talk with my man last night
He said never again lonely would I be
And that’s when he asked to marry me
I began to cry
He kissed the tears from my weeping eyes
Oh, yes he did, yes he did, yes he did, oh, oh
I had a talk with my man last night
Passing by the old Chess Record building on 21st and S. Michigan, I thought about Mitty Colliers "I Had A Talk With My Man". I heard it for the first time while visiting my cousins in Chicago back in 1964. I remember hearing it quite a bit at house parties back home in Detroit soon after. Man, what a song.
Before my time. Luck for me, I never let that stop me! Always looking for those special voices. Excellent selection. Thanks for the post.
P.S.- I hope you don't mind if I plug a couple of other names here. I hate to think that so few people nowadays know about them - Esther Philips, Ruby Johnson, Ella Washington. Happy listening!
Oh yeah. I had a talk with my man too, and we will continue to talk, 'cause he turns on my alarms. Mitty had a distinct voice and this I remember as a kid spinning 45's.
