And of course, he makes it all terribly bittersweet and heartbreaking.)

This record is so good, I ordered it from America from my local record shop after hearing it on the radio! I was 16 years old! I’m now 57 and it still sounds as good as the 1st time I heard it! ❤

this song brings me back to high school dance every Fridays, when this jewel came up you had to make your move and ask a girl to dance, good times...

One of my favourite songs from back in the day. So great to see you appreciate it. Darryl Hall honours his fellow Philly artist with a great cover.

You two would have loved the '70s, it's a great song and there were plenty of ones like that during that decade. I suggest that you check out 'The Chi-Lites' (pronounced Shy-lights) two of their songs in particular, 'Have You Seen Her' and 'It's Time For Love', for a faster more dance type of track by them, please check out 'You Don't Have To Go'.

Billy used to live around the corner from me and I would say hi to him whenever we crossed paths. He was a very nice man but I had no idea he was a famous sing till he passed away. I still exchange greetings to his wife when walking their dogs while I walk mine, she is an equally sweet woman. Billy was a great singer and a great guy.

Absolutely love love love the vibe of song❤️ One of my favorites of all time, and I think others feel the same!! Not too long ago was in a nice little antique store, I was the only shopper and this song was playing when I walked in, I was quietly singing along and loved it, feeling so lucky to hav3 walked in at the right time …… them it played again, and again…. And again!! I think the owner of the sop loved it too😉. I could listen to it all day long too!! So happy you got to react to it! Now go listen again!!

1:22 melody snippet from "once I had a secret love.." The writers/producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff say that the song was based on a real experience. There was a restaurant across from their recording studio in Philly where they would take their dinner breaks. And every day they'd see this couple meeting at one of the booths. They'd come in separately and leave separately.

Rule number one. If you stop a song in a great spot you must back up 5 seconds to get back into it.

I absolutely LOVE this song. I was a kid but I remember loving this song. It was a HUGE hit. Absolute classic 70s Soul. It wasn't until I was older that I could make sense of what he was talking about.

This song is always a good listen. Try out Al Wilson's Show and Tell. It is always a good listen as well.

It's a must. Along with Lou Rawls "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine." And the Bill Withers catalog. From Lean on Me, and Lovely Day, to Just the Two of Us with Grover Washington Jr.
