Thank you Malacomg for posting the original Dixie Hummingbirds, sounds much better than that Paul Simon ripoff, who had the nerve to used them as background singers while he recorded it. Enjoying this immensely in 2019.
The Dixie Hummingbirds did not do the original of this song. Here's the background information on the song: "Loves Me Like a Rock" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Paul Simon. It was the second single from his third studio album, There Goes Rhymin' Simon (1973), released on Columbia Records. It features background vocals from the Dixie Hummingbirds, a Southern black gospel group. Although the lyrics are not typically associated with gospel music, the Dixie Hummingbirds were eager to record the song with Simon, and they recorded their own version of the song soon afterward.[1] The song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100; it was also a top five hit in Canada. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of over one million copies. Paul Simon is the songwriter credited with writing "Rock". The Dixie Hummingbirds liked the song so much they did their own version in 1974 which made it to #67 on the pop charts. No one "ripped off" anyone on this record and it's wrong and prejudicial for you to assume that because Paul Simon recorded a gospel-type pop song that he must've ripped off some black group. Completely wrong and in this case, backwards. BTW, white artists recording black songs has been around forever and in many cases, the white artists brings the song to a wider audience and because of the sales generated, the black artist (if he owns the rights to the song) makes more money than had the white artist not recorded the song. Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew had many of their hits recorded by artists like Ricky Nelson and Pat Boone. To quote Mr. Domino: "...Pat Boone made me a rich man.." Dig?
