I listened to this track on my way to job in city of London I hated. I stopped the future. Got off train 🚆 and went home and then went into music! I still happy today. 😁
I didn't understand what the song was about when I was a kid. Just enjoyed the music. Listening to it today with the lyrics, I never gave it it's true respect. Tip my hat to Mr. Billy Paul.
Oh yeah man !!....Billy Paul killing it...Changed the lyrics around a little bit...but in a good way...Dr. Martin Luther King J.R. ....Louis Armstrong. ..Love it man.
Billy Paul, is a unique page in music, his voice, the arrangements, his songs, covers were wonderful, they sounded like a new masterpiece, he is timeless and will always be remembered. Billy Paul, é uma página única na música, sua voz, os arranjos, suas musicas, covers eram maravilhosos, soavam como uma nova obra prima, ele é atemporal e sempre será lembrado.
Thank you Gamble-Huff for such a wonderful production. With Billy Paul at the helm, the great Jack Faith arranged this beautiful song. Thank you Billy Paul, Gamble-Huff, and Jack Faith for the sound track of our lives. TSOP at its best!!
@@compteprivefr well.. yes he did .. but without the above mentioned contributers.. this would have been a bland and unforgettable song.. like theMcCnty version was
@@alisonl6723 The McCartney version reached #3. This version was nowhere near as successful. The production on the original is also way better. I like Billy Paul's performance better but everything else in this cover version is worse than the original. so yeah, thank you paul McCartney for writing this awesome song.
This was "this" Paul Williams' best album in his career regeneration from a big band jazz singer. Mr. Billy Paul with dubs of Malcolm and Martin! But rember Bobby Kennrdy and Medgar Evers ..... Louie Armstrong! Open the Door!
Mas de 50 años hablando de inclusion!! Esta cancion, versionada por quien sea, es maravillosa, atemporal, unica, Gracias a todos los que la han cantado y siguen haciendolo. Un HIMNO !!
Nas duas versões, esta canção é um Clássico! É que, na versão do ''Billy Paul'', ela se torna mais imersiva; não sei explicar como, mas a "pegada" é mais forte! O cara canta com a alma mesmo...Parece que tal música foi feita pra ele! ;-)
Essa versão é sensacional,muito diferente da original, mais viva, uma levada DISCO, os arranjos dos metais, das cordas na harmonia, um baixo muito legal. Sem falar de partes dos discursos do Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X. Sensacional !
I still cant understand why this was used for a rubbish scam postcode lottery advert . This and the original Wings version are as good as good each other. God bless Billy Paul, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff
@The Royals lol this is the theme music to the People’s Postcode Lottery TV advertisements in Britain. Just like the Publishers Clearing House here in the USA and how they deliver the checks to their sweepstakes winners at the winners front doorsteps or place of work, the Postcode lottery does the same with their prize winners. Hence their slogan “We could be knocking on YOUR door.”
Billy Paul's voice is pure magic! His songs take me back to a golden era of soul music
I listened to this track on my way to job in city of London I hated. I stopped the future. Got off train 🚆 and went home and then went into music! I still happy today. 😁
We have one life and once chance at being happy. Why waste it?
Right on bro!❤@@arthurlincoln9093

Its a Paul McCartney original, recorded by his Wings.
its about Jehovahs Witnesses
@@babybison 😂 under-rated comment.
@@nunodirosso Billy Paul changed the names mentioned in the song to those of civil rights leaders, among others.
@@babybison Absolutely not about Jehova Witnesses!!!
Sublime Paul, marvelous song❤❤❤❤🎉

@@compteprivefr lol this has nothing to do with McCnty
@@alisonl6723 Except that he wrote this song?

Immense artiste.
I like how he did his own thing with the song and made the lyrics apply to civil rights, very cool idea
❤j'aime aussi cette version plus "soul" ,et j'adore Paul McCartney ❤

The contemplative piano groove works as 70s pop/rock *and* as upbeat Philly soul, maybe even better.
Billy Shears lives forever
Billy Paul 😅😅😅😂😂😂
Classico...Billy Paul and Philadelfia ..its a good

Umas das musicas mais lindas que já escutei em toda minha VIDA!
O foda é que é essa música não é a original
A original é do paul McCartney
Nas duas versões, esta canção é um Clássico! É que, na versão do ''Billy Paul'', ela se torna mais imersiva; não sei explicar como, mas a "pegada" é mais forte! O cara canta com a alma mesmo...Parece que tal música foi feita pra ele! ;-)
Seja de quem for. Billy Paul arrebentou nessa versão maravilhosa !!!!!!!!!!!!! Obs.: Paul McCartney também é fodástico !!!!!!!!!!
Essa versão é sensacional,muito diferente da original, mais viva, uma levada DISCO, os arranjos dos metais, das cordas na harmonia, um baixo muito legal. Sem falar de partes dos discursos do Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X. Sensacional !
Oh yeah

@@DrawsomeDrawer Paul's came first" It was original written on McCartneys wings album
@@Kevin-ro1fo That's what I thought
He murdered the mic with this song
Canta muito.
Wow I didn't know Dick Gregory spoke on this song.
Fabulous music.
When you’re never going to play that sodding lottery but can’t get the song out of your head.
I still cant understand why this was used for a rubbish scam postcode lottery advert . This and the original Wings version are as good as good each other. God bless Billy Paul, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff

It’s Just a damned good song. The sax man Kirk Whalen’s version sounds just as good.
Paul did it better
Billy did it better...I agree
You never know, we could be knocking on YOUR door!!!
(You know this catchphrase if your from Britain 🇬🇧 )
@The Royals lol this is the theme music to the People’s Postcode Lottery TV advertisements in Britain.

@JackPlayz_2011 Your Not British then
People always misquote this song lol
