Reply #14: I've always loved "It Ain't Over till It's Over" [View All]

Yeah, it sounds like a retro-soul single similarly to how the rest of his hits sound like retro-rock singles, but I think it's a truly beautiful song, and I never get sick of it. He may have more stuff on his albums in that vein (I just know him for his singles, and have never heard a full album by him) but I've always thought it kinda funny that the rest of his stuff sounds more Jimi Hendrix while that one sounds more... Curtis Mayfield or something. I actually like several of his singles, though. Whether he's deep or relevant or whatever, I really don't know, and he could definitely be more "original" but I think he's done some good songs. (I do hate that "American Woman" cover, though, but I'm a really big Guess Who fan so maybe I'm just defensive...)
