Dancin' With Nobody But You Babe, 1969
Written by Willie Clarke and Clarence Reid
This is a smooth soul crooner about a man who's made a mistake or two in love. Once he was a wise man. But now he knows, he's just a fool, blinded by lies. "Friends look at me with pity in their eye / They know that I'm a fool / But they just don't know why / I haven't always been like this / But you gave me something that I just couldn't resist." Punchy horn stabs and Reid's expressive voice make this song one of those that leave you wondering why it wasn't a hit. But enough about that! Hilariously, Reid also released many albums as Blowfly, a raunchy parody of other genres of music with titles like ""If Eating You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right" and "R. Kelly in Cambodia."
