You know, now these video things that everybody's a buying and a making.
When I was growing up, we had a radio, and then we got television, and then we got these videos.
And they say you have to do to have a good video, you have to do something different with a song.
Not just stand up and sing, but they call it visuals.
You didn't think I could learn that, did you?
They call it visuals.
That's where you can see a lot of stuff happening.
And the only thing I could think of, back in 1970, we recorded an album.
What year was that?
70-something.
And this album was so bad [Abm] that the DJs were sending them back.
[N] But it had one good song on it called Satisfy.
Boy, I arranged that song.
I put some horns on it, and I put some girl singers.
And the song just ain't no good without girl singers.
We got one girl singer.
We got one over here.
She can do it.
I want you to
I'm gonna do the lead vocals, like they say in Nashville.
And I want you, Diana, I want you to get the Supremes back there.
And I want you to
Diana Ross, get the Supremes back there.
Give me a little ladies background.
Okay, here we go.
Satisfy.
[G] [C]
[G] Well, [D] [G]
you may ask me if I'm happy
If I [C] have sweet [G] peace within
If I'm worried about tomorrow
[A] When I reach my [D] journey's end
[G] I'm satisfied with my sweet Jesus
Don't you know [C] when he knocks on my door
I'll [G] have to let that man in
He'll go with me through that [C] old valley
For [G] you know [D] he's [G] my friend
Yeah, I'm [C] satisfied, satisfied, [G] satisfied
No trouble can ever get [D] me down
[G] When my eyes are closed and don't look my Jesus
I'll be at rest, then you'll know
He [D] will, I'm [G] satisfied
[Ab] Oh, I gotta [G] hear that again.
Then [Cm] you'll know [D] [G] I'm satisfied
[Ab]
Though my friend, they all forsake me
And they [Db]
turn me from their [Ab] door
Now they don't sow no seeds of kindness
Let the [Bb]
thorns in [Eb] my back grow
Well, [Ab] it won't matter over yonder
When [Db] I reach my [Ab] journey's end
I'm gonna sit down by my [Db] sweet Jesus
[Ab] For you know [Eb] [Ab] he's my friend
[Db] Yeah, I'm [Ab] satisfied, satisfied, satisfied
No trouble can ever [Ebm] get me down
[Ab] When my eyes are closed and don't [Db] look my Jesus
[Ab] I'll be at rest, then you'll know
He will, I'm satisfied
I've got that old time religion
[Db] Got that old [Ab] time religion
That is why, [Eb] that is why [Ab] I'm satisfied
I'm
Thank [Bm] you
Good job
