Despite his mountain of hits during the 1960s and '70s, his heart just wasn't into his work, aural evidence obviously to the contrary. You'd never know it from listening to the contents of this collection, culled from his fabulous hit-loaded 1966-1970 stint with Producer Richbourg at the helm for Sound Stage 7 Records. His conviction sounds unshakable. Maybe that's a large part of the reason why Simon scored 16 R\u0026amp;B chart entries during that timeframe for SS7, including a #1 seller. \"I never wanted to sing rhythm and blues,\" said Simon, who until his untimely death in December 2021, was a bishop and leader of his own ministries in south suburban Chicago. \"My heart was never in it, but yet I could sing rhythm and blues. John Richbourg was my producer. And he used to ask me, how could I sing these songs so great and never knew 'em? But I never had an interest to go in the studio and know a song. I just said, 'Man, I just sing 'em!' Sunset Blvd Records is proud to present the most comprehensive collection of Joe Simon's extraordinary work with Nashville Soul Label Sound stage 7.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo Many Teardrops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravelin' Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNobody But You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Special Prayer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Makes a Man Feel Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat's All I Want (From You)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeenager's Prayer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Girl's Alright with Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Hot Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen a Man Loves a Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiss You So\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo Many Rivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(You Keep Me) Hangin' on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Sad Songs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Worry About You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNine Pound Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePut Your Trust in Me (Depend on Me)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Same Old Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan't Find No Happiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome on and Get It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMisty Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Too Late\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStanding in the Safety Zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Reach of Your Arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Going Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwinkle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreamin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooking Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunny How Time Slips Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Went a Little Bit Farther\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby, Don't Be Looking in My Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Sittin' on the) Dock of the Bay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Green Apples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonely Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Chokin' Kind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYours Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelp Yourself (To All My Lovin')\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWichita Lineman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Let Me Lose the Feeling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Too Far Gone to Turn Around\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Still of the Night (I'll Remember)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Spoons and Coffee Cups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Hard to Get Along\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Ghetto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got a Whole Lot of Lovin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWounded Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime and Space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight Down to Heaven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter the Lights Go Down Low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSan Francisco Is a Lonely Town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRainbow Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust a Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoon Walk Part L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoon Walk Part LL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarther on Down the Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat's the Way I Want Our Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho's Julie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomeone to Lean on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToday I Started Loving You Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOon-Guela (High Life) Part L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 708535701521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunset Blvd Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.25.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"First City Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48703883804891,"sku":"276703","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/1609\/5451\/files\/4062317-2810491.jpg?v=1777328161","url":"https:\/\/firstcityrecordstore.com\/products\/joe-simon-nine-pound-steel-the-best-of-joe-simon-digipak","provider":"First City Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
