I'll Shed No Tears - The Best of the Hi Recordings, 1988 (recorded 1966)
Written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter
The title says all you need to know about the lyric. It's an expression of love: when the narrator's baby is upset, he can't be happy. "If she's got a problem, I'd know / You'd know I've gotta help her solve it." Rich's vocal is full of feeling; he sings it like he's got hurt on his mind. I think of Rich as a country artists, but here the music is swelling and orchestral, with an ascending drum line that could be on any soul record, sweet background vocals, and the occasional blues guitar riff.
