I learned about this song through my mother when I was only seven years old. I watched her groove and cry to this song many weekend nights. She's gone now and I miss that ol woman this song brings back memories of her.

Man, talk about a hidden gem. This song is 🔥🔥🔥. Mavis did her thing

I've been in search of this song for years. Didn't know it was Mavis Staples.

from Kenya ..i have always been a great fan of mavis...first heard this ballad in the 1970,s

Mavis Staples has one of the greatest voices of all time. No matter the song she's gone tear it up. Chicago's finest. Believe that

Mavis Staple is one of my favorite singers and this song is awesome.

I LOVE Mavis's voice...she could make a cough sound soulful.

This lady has a spirit in her that is beyond my comprehension. I can't explain how hearing her interpret a song, any song she touches, makes me feel like she's touching my spirit. Can I be the only one that didn't seem to have spirit, until I found Mavis?

Black Gold 🪙🪙 pure solid gold 🪙🪙!!!!

I don't care how many singers are listen to and I've listened to a lot no one comes close to Mavis she is a fantastic singer even till this day God bless Mavis

so underrated! She is an icon with a voice that rivals any contemporary.Mavis is in a class of her own for sure.

She is as good as any of them, Aretha, Gladys, or anyother!!! Love Mavis!

Who's she kidding. She loves him and she's out there singing it. I love you Mavis!

"I have wiped those tear from my eyes" Yessss Mavis sang!!

Those violins, the drums the strum of the base and that beautiful, powerful, voice of Mavis Staples, just kills me when I listen to this! Have Mercy, I love this song so much.

Real beautiful music......Ms. Mavis Staples, a legend who always deliver!!!

Do people even know music like this existed when they listen to Rhianna and the like? I was born in 89 but my how my spirit resonates with this song, I elevate and my whole being travels back to a time when music was actually music. Salute to you Ms Staples and all those real music makers out there

This is a deep song...i didn't know she sang Let's Do it again🤔 I REALLY love that song she did on the National Lampoo Christmas....this song is for my daughter father.lol...❤it's a new day...and I have learned to do without him....I'm glad we're still friends😊

Mavis is digging deep when she sing " Learned to do without you!

What a voice!!!!!!!!!!! She just makes my day! Love her so much!

The lady I named my daughter after and thankful for the staples whom my late grandfather patronize my family after❤️

I found the song, "down in Mississippi" the other day, and all i can say is omg.... what a voice, what a delivery, what a sound. Mavis has me hooked deep now. Ty Mavis, ty.

@perry123mason This tune was recorded about 1969 or 1970 and you can find 45's of it and the "Only For The Lonely" album on both vinyl and CD. It's fairly easy to find.

thats a great song for those who take for granted what they had and now its gone for those who are trying to be slick better eatch yourselves because someone might be playing it for you

Even microphones are happy when they hear Mavis.

@Achdus5772 Especially during the last chorus of the song where she really gives the guy a piece of her mind.I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

I LOVE THIS OLD SCHOOL CLASSIC R&B HIT SONG AND SO MANY OTHERS THAT SHE RECORDED IN HER MUSIC CAREER, & TOO WHOM MAY CONCERN, DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL

She has deep soul! And she was very pretty in her youth...

Raise your hands if Hugh Yates sent you here to hear the best woman singer in America. Mavis Staples is a _goddess._

Maybe , Mavis was singing to Bob Dylan here! He proposed to her and she turned him down. She said they were both teenager and to young to marry.

SHE LOVES HIM SHE DOESN'T MEAN IT ❤❤❤❤

This is my first time hearing this song. When was it recorded? Where can I purchase it? That is the way music is suppose to sound.

If you're willing to spend some hours watching random people's playlists you find so much awsome music. I would like to thank King689 for making awsome playlists in all genres...
