My head would have exploded if I had been at chess when this stuff was recorded. I don't have the words for how incredible this wonderful sound is! Good point sir!!
Another day has gone by, lord And still I wait Don't you know, I'm patiently waiting? You'll never know how much I've tried To keep my faith, and it's true Yes I did, and don't you know that I did a lot, girl? She won't write or call, no she won't Seems as if, seems as if she's never coming home But, look, baby love, it's almost gone And then you'll here me crying, girl Temptation's 'bout to get me Yes, it is, don't you know my love? Temptation's about to get me Don't let it, don't let it, pretty baby Temptation's about to get me Yes it is, enough said All my faith will come tumbling down All my friends, they understand They feel, they feel the same as I do The say; she's your love You know her pretty life is you Yes it is, she loves you, you Did you know she loves you, child? Days gone by, Lord And I'm getting weaker A heart this strong gets a little weaker I know somehow, I know, If my little heart gets a little weaker, You'll here my crying Temptation's 'bout to get me Yes it is, don't you know, my love? Temptation's 'bout to get me Don't let it, don't let it, pretty baby Temptation's about to get me All I want you to say All my faith will come tumbling down Temptation's 'bout to get me Yes it is to my lovely one girl Temptation's 'bout to get me
There are no singers today w/ this kind of talent & style. He really never rec'd the credit due him in his short life time. However, thanks to todays technology,a new legion of fans is born :)
My husband and I had his song I DO LOVE YOU for our wedding song 20 years ago!!!! He is one of a kind! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ no one will ever replace BILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listening to Billy Stewart brings back so many memories, your music and your legacy will live on an on, rest in peace my brother from another mother !!!❤
Siting In The Park, Summertime, Cross My Heart, I Do Love You, Secret Love, check him out. Mr Stewart. A talented singer - songwriter who was discovered by Bo Diddley in 1956. A voice, style and spin that has NEVER been duplicated. Billy Stewart 1937 - 1970 RIP. CLASSIC.
A duet between those two greats would have been absolutely fantastic. I'm a hard-core OG who has gotten down in the trenches all my life sand not much has shaken me, but the mere thought of a duet between Billy Stewart and Linda Jones almost bring me to tears. WOW....
Billy stewart had a beautiful voice i remember when I first heard his song sitting in the park in 1966 his legacy and his songs will always last forever 😢
The first version of "Summertime" I ever heard was Billy Stewart's, and in my view is still the best I have heard -- and everybody has had a go at THAT one. This "Temptation's out to get me" is just beautiful. What a great voice, and what a great interpretation. Thank you for posting it -- it shows a man of style, talent and great gifts.
We know all about Billy on the Northern Soul scene over in England, he's a legend, i used to DJ, we only play original vinyl no poxy CD's allowed on the decks ! So i got plenty by the big man, a rare talent indeed and a tribute to the Chicago soul scene KTF
So sad if you listen to his songs he was a lonesome man looking for someone to love all his music reflects his emotions. Great Singer 73 yes old and I still love his music.
This badass jam just brings out all my feelings exactly what is going through my mind and body but in words I wouldn't be able to put it like this beauty of song
Man this song is special to me I’m 33 and just came across it I always say I haven’t heard my favorite song yet and that mindset helps me find gems like this
see folks what we need is more people like us to keep this music alive because there are few outlets where this music is played even the so called oldies stations don't really get too much deeper than the standards and I'm thinking to myself I cant be the only one who love this music.. guess I need to get podcasting or something...
I use to play bass guitar behind BILLY STEWART in the 60s in DC but I didn't know that he recommended this song. I also played bass guitar behind the Night brothers and I remember them recording this song ,and they boath are good. Billy, The knight brothers, and myself (DAVE) use to play music all around DC Maryland and Virginia back in the day.
I had the good fortune to see Billy live on what, I believe was his only British tour back in the 1960's - a Great performer with a fabulous, unique voice and delivery. I have every release of his and still play them all regularly and it may interest some to know that he was backed vocally on most of his recordings by The "Mighty" Dells! Good though this version is, I feel it's just shaded by The Knight Brothers rendition, also on Chess and there's a surprisingly good attempt by Australian (!?) group The Virgil Brothers worth looking up here on YT. My Very belated thanks to groovindj for the upload.
Two words
BILLY STEWART❤❤❤❤🎼🎼🎼 RIP
Sorry to say that my dad ( James Diggs) has pasted away on Feb. 28, 2023. The legends will live on through their music. I’m proud to be your son dad…
DC's own! RIP Billy. We miss u still.
Wow 16 people obviously dont know good music when they hear it this song shouldnt have any dislikes
Vernon McFarland downvoting soul gems like this should be a federal crime.
Saw him live in the '60s now i'm 70 and STILL LOVE HIM!!!
Nina W Lucky you! It must've been amazing. Sad knowing how he went. Corporate negligence is quite the killer :( it took a legend out before his time
Nina W wow! I wish there was more live footage of him...
Much respect to my ol skoo ima pretty much a baby 29 i was the last of the 80s babies last of a dying breed
man I wish I would seen that..I love fat boy
Love in the moment, Billy Stewart was one of my favorite oldie, but goodies, favorite singer, and my growing up years I love them to this date
Imagine being in the studio when this was recorded. What a band!
My head would have exploded if I had been at chess when this stuff was recorded. I don't have the words for how incredible this wonderful sound is! Good point sir!!
Beautiful voice my favorite artist thank you. Mr Billy Stewart.
I love both versions, but Billy Stewart had a unique talent.
Another day has gone by, lord
And still I wait
Don't you know, I'm patiently waiting?
You'll never know how much I've tried
To keep my faith, and it's true
Yes I did, and don't you know that I did a lot, girl?
She won't write or call, no she won't
Seems as if, seems as if she's never coming home
But, look, baby love, it's almost gone
And then you'll here me crying, girl
Temptation's 'bout to get me
Yes, it is, don't you know my love?
Temptation's about to get me
Don't let it, don't let it, pretty baby
Temptation's about to get me
Yes it is, enough said
All my faith will come tumbling down
All my friends, they understand
They feel, they feel the same as I do
The say; she's your love
You know her pretty life is you
Yes it is, she loves you, you
Did you know she loves you, child?
Days gone by, Lord
And I'm getting weaker
A heart this strong gets a little weaker
I know somehow, I know,
If my little heart gets a little weaker,
You'll here my crying
Temptation's 'bout to get me
Yes it is, don't you know, my love?
Temptation's 'bout to get me
Don't let it, don't let it, pretty baby
Temptation's about to get me
All I want you to say
All my faith will come tumbling down
Temptation's 'bout to get me
Yes it is to my lovely one girl
Temptation's 'bout to get me
Love, love this jam..Billy Stewart has the best oldies of all time. ❤🎧🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Great song & Oldie! Billy was & is truly great! This version & the OG one by The Knight Brothers are both great songs. Oldies are truly forever!
There are no singers today w/ this kind of talent & style. He really never rec'd the credit due him in his short life time. However, thanks to todays technology,a new legion of fans is born :)

Chess Studios should be a national historic monument.
No one can touch this man's style
A duet between those two greats would have been absolutely fantastic. I'm a hard-core OG who has gotten down in the trenches all my life sand not much has shaken me, but the mere thought of a duet between Billy Stewart and Linda Jones almost bring me to tears. WOW....

I love Billy Stewart but I think the Knight Brothers version of this song, tops Billy's.
The incomparable Billy Stewart. He took skat'n to a whole -nother level! The Knight Brothers are proud!!
The first version of "Summertime" I ever heard was Billy Stewart's, and in my view is still the best I have heard -- and everybody has had a go at THAT one.

I had the good fortune to see Billy live on what, I believe was his only British tour back in the 1960's - a Great performer with a fabulous, unique voice and delivery.
