Charles, Ray - Sticks And Stones Lyrics

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This country boy is blaring this shit in 2019..

Ray's piano solo is mmmmmmm delicious!!

So true..delicious solo

People talkin' tryin' to break us up
Why won't they let us be
Bricks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me
People talkin' tryin' to break us up
When they know that I love you so
So I don't care what the people may say
I'll never never let you go
I've been abused
(I've been abused)
In my heart
(my heart's been torn)
I've been accused
(I've been accused)
I've been 'buked
(I've been 'buked and I've been stung)
People talkin' tryin' to break us up, yeah
Scandlizin' my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes anything to make me shame

I've been abused
(I've been abused)
In my heart
(my heart's been torn)
I've been accused
(I've been accused)
I've been 'buked
(I've been 'buked and I've been stung)
People talkin' tryin' to break us, yup
And they scandlizin' my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes anything to make me shame
Yes I know
(oh, yes I know)
Yes I know it
(oh, yes I know)
And you know it, too
(oh, yes I know)
Don't you know it, too
(oh, yes I know)
Ohhhhh, don't you know it too

This song isn't on spotify☹☹

I love this song.

Jazz drummer Milt Turner provides constant excitement, as he did on What'd I Say.

Yep a slightly alter'd arrangement to Wha'd I say and it's excellent.

Hidden Figures soundtrack

laSimo999 I allways loved Ray Charles. And this tune certainly got my attention during the movie for the similarity with "What'd I Say"!

the Boss!

The perfect Brother Ray record to bridge the gap between R 'n' B and R 'n' R, and I love the Wurlitzer Electric Piano work on this (state of the art technology at the time).
1960:
You listen to this, and you can just imagine the effect it was having on young Lennon and McCartney, young Jagger and Richards, et. al, when it made its way across the Pond...

drummer is wailing on this track, love it

Will always be one of my favorites by Mr. Charles

LOVE IT!!!
