I always enjoy my dad's songs and his singing!!!

It's a shame Otis never got to sing it. It was written for him

The only version I always found fully convincing. A pity that only few know it.

I love this singer. Don't forget to listen to my favorite -- "The Dark End of the Street". He was great.

I'm a big fan of both the Bee Gees and immortal Otis who I think would've sung it amazingly. Must admit James Carr absolutely killed it too!

James Carr died in Memphis 2001 of lung cancer. His voice and emotion on all his songs are amazing...Dark End of The Street is my absolute favorite of his

This is one of the finest vocalists of ALL time. Featured in the Rosanna Arquette film "The Wrong Man".

In my opinion, James Carr was the best male soul singer. And yes, I have listened to Jackie, Marvin, Otis, Sam, Percy, Curtis, Ben E, Smokey. I love them all but there is something heart breaking about James Carr.

A truly beautiful and a amazing soulful voice James Carr has .definitely won’t get tired of playing this song. Dedicating this song to my amazing wife of 47 years of marriage.❤❤

james carr was one of the best singers i have ever heard timeless

Best version of this song by light years!!! Amazing voice!!!

Possibly the best version of a great song.

From the first time I heard the Bee Gees sing this, I always thought it sounded like a soul tune. Carr really makes the words live and breathe. He should have been a much bigger star than he was.

Unbelievable version! Mr. Carr kills it like only a few could!

Damn when he jumps into that falsetto....woah that's emotional power!

Nice and sweet performance, well done 🎶👏👌👍

Duane Allman plays slide guitar on this song!

Amazing man, gifting the world with his beautiful voice.

Superb.How have I only just discovered this gem?

WOW! BEAUTIFULLY SUNG!

WOW!!! This man CAN make you feel it.....Bee Gees version is good...BUT this is the Creme de la Creme!! Thanks for posting!

Backed James on the 2 gigs he did for The London Blues Fest - Blackheath Concert Hall & Watermans Art Centre- Kew Bridge - Brentwood. A great singer & fun to be around. Good memory - A real treat.

Amazing voice! Go James Carr!

Awesome sound! Beautiful recording

que musica linda e muito bem interpretada.

The original songwriter of this so called bee gees hit !

James Carr was a brilliant talent. He sang from inside the songs, he had the best producers and back up bands, and he had fantastic taste. He should have been much more well known.. so spread the word, its never too late for great music.

The way he sings the word "love" at the end of the chorus... man, it breaks my heart.

And here it is.The greatest song ever recorded. I'll stop coming back to this when I'm dead.

To love somebody is LOVING, the one who has love can love.

Absolutely awesome voice..The best version I have heard. 10/10

Just amazing his voice is just so soothing and so powerful may he be singing with the angels because he is that good r,i,p gone but never forgotten his legacy is still here with everyone who still listens to his music

This man could teach anyone a soul lesson.

An amazing soulfull man making this his own.

The kinda voice that this song was written for, doin the tune justice at last.

Great singer--very under appreciated when you speak of the great soul singers of the past--Ottis, Sam and Dave, Bobby Bland, Al Green and Johnny Taylor--I put him in that class

I've never heard of him before...he was before my time...this was during my parents days. However, his voice is just as amazing as Ottis Reading...thanks for sharing, you have James Carr now has a new fan for sure!!!

This is fantastic! Thanks James Carr I love your singing and songs!

Wow kill it Mr Carr you sing it true so natural so real. Sing with passion 😍😍🎶🎵🎶🎵

WOW the voice just WOW heavenly. Thank you!!!

Kenneth Carr your dad was a great talent. I really enjoy his music.

This is without a doubt the best version ever. Hate remakes.

one of the best To Love Somebody, Nina Simone does this beautifully also. Guy is a star!!

Kenneth Carr,I love it this man,he will always be in my heart,a great soul singer

Best song ever!!! Still fresh!

Wow... first time hearing this version!!!

I NEVER HEARD THIS VERSION OMG I LUVVV IT

No one can top James Carr's version. So soulful and good.

I have this record since the day it came out. Completelt different than the original BeeGees but yet the same. Great soul sound. Also The Dark End Of THe Street. I have a CD with about 30 James Carr songs from Britain. It is Great. What an almost great unknown talent especially here in the Northeast. The South knows what great soul singers we had and still do.

i love this version. best version

There's a light, A certain kind of light, That never shone on me. I want my life to be lived with you, Lived with you. There's a way, everybody say, To do each and every little thing. But what does it bring If I ain't got you, ain't got? Baby, you don't know what it's like, Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, To love somebody, The way I love you. In my brain I see your face again. I know my frame of mind. But you ain't got to be so blind. And I'm blind, so su very blind. Cause I'm a man, Can't you see what I am? I live and I breathe for you. But what good does it do If I ain't got you, ain't got? Baby, you don't know what it's like, Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, To love somebody, The way I love you. Oh, you don't know what it's like, Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, To love somebody, The way I love you.

jesus! its the best.....the voice cuts to every sinew.....

This is the best versio. Sorry BeeGees. I have the 45 & the LP & the CD.

Excellent voice...

Lots of great versions of this song, but this one hits different

the bee gees were a pop group no one gives this song the feeling like this guy does ive heard a dozen versions of this but james is the best by miles

this is the first time I heard this song sung by somebody other than the Bee Gees. which I lovef

this is the first time I heard this song sung by somebody other than the Bee Gees. which I loved

The man has one hell of a voice !!!

Simply amazing incredible voice

Best version, outstanding!

I love this song… listening in 2022 🫶🏽

Muito bomm

Owww incredible .. saluation from Morocoo

Wonderful soulful version! I have a video of Eric Burdon and The Animal's version of this song, but this 1967 cover is great too. He sings in a way that Otis Redding did with some of his own words and interjections. My favorite covers of this happen to be 1960s people because each of their personalities come through in their versions, Janis Joplin's, for one. Michael Bolton's cover of it is often mentioned, but that one doesn't do it for me. A Portuguese person referred me to this version. I know many of the covers of this that you'd think I'd have known this one too, but I didn't. I also see on the sidebar a Chamber's Brother's version and that was a great band. Thanks for the video!

Correct James Carr and O.V Wright were both great Soul man that are under appreciated. I would say the same of ZZ Hill and Joe Simon and Tyronne Davis too

Hearing that slide guitar, I'm wondering where this was recorded. If it was in Muscle Shoals, and Duane Allman. This is good. There are quite a few fine versions of this song. This is probably as close to Otis as any. Dusty Springfield did it well too. Just a great song.

Brilliant!

Love it makes you want to fall in love!!!

beautiful

Yes Yes Yes!

Great music

goosebumps.

love thi song

sing it mr.james 2 love somebody the way I love i,church soul.listen 2 his heart.wop

The best cover of this amazing song. I love also the Chambers Brothers one. And obviously , Janis Joplin rendition. And the Rod Stewart as well as Jimmy Barnes. I would have loved Motorhead and thé Ramones to do it...

won-won-wonderful!

thank you my love

wow a wonder full version.

Amei,achei show 👏👏👏👍RJ BR

Yes Yes

Otis redding loved James Carr's voice, and considered him the best singer. No kidding. Otis was supposed to do this song but died before he had a chance. James carr was excellent!

intended for otis reading, james carrs version is top quality, found this gem by accident, now i gotta get it,

to love somebody the way i love youuuuu!!!!

Absolutely!!
