Samuel
McClain (April 15, 1943 – June 15, 2015), billed as Mighty Sam McClain, was an American Grammy nominated soul blues singer and Songwriter.
He
was born in Monroe, Louisiana.
As a five-year-old, he began singing in his mother's Gospel Church. McClain
left home when he was thirteen and followed local R&B guitarist, Little
Melvin Underwood through the Chitlin'
circuit, first as his valet and then as lead
vocalist himself at 15.
While
singing at the 506 Club in Pensacola,
Florida he was introduced to the record producer and DJ, Papa
Don Schroeder and in 1966, McClain recorded a
cover version of Patsy Cline's
"Sweet Dreams". Several recording sessions at Muscle Shoals produced
the further singles,
"Fannie-May" and "In the Same Old Way". For fifteen years,
first in Nashville,
Tennessee, then in New
Orleans, McClain worked at menial jobs. McClain toured and recorded in
Japan in 1989. The end product, Live in Japan, featured Wayne Bennett
By
the early 1990s, McClain relocated to New
England through his participation in the
"Hubert Sumlin Blues Party" project. This led to Joe Harley and AudioQuest Music.
The results were the successful releases, Give It Up To Love and Keep On Movin'.
After his move to New Hampshire,
then followed Sledgehammer Soul and Down Home Blues. In 1998 McClain had two
releases, Journey and Joy & Pain on the CrossCut
Records label. Soul Survivor: The Best of
Mighty Sam McClain was his farewell to AudioQuest in 1999. McClain signed on
with the Telarc Blues in 1999, taking his longtime producer Joe Harley with
him, and recorded the Blues
Music Award nominated Blues for the Soul (2000)
and Sweet Dreams (2001).
Baby
you hurt me
and i know that i've hurt you
We've
both promised
to always be true
We'd let our love
get lost in the rain
Now we are waiting
Oh for love to live again
Holding on
To what was before
Oh lord i see
Why did we have to let it go
Now the only thing
That i know
The only thing
That i think i'd know
When the hurt is over
Lord, maybe love will flow
Trying to do
What we know we must
When you love somebody
You know you got to trust
I think about it
again and again
I say that i will baby
Oh but i don't know if i can
You say you're sorry
Oh i say i am too
then we turn round and round
then again we'd be untrue
that is why, that is why, the only thing
that i know
the only thing baby
that i know
when the hurt is over, baby
maybe love will flow
Guess by chance
We'd work things out
we both will know
what love is all about
don't move so quickly
Oh it don't move too fast
if you got a good love
Oh you ought to try to make it last
i know i hurt
you
lord you broke my heart
and now we are sad baby
because our love is apart
that is why i say to you, the only thing
that i know
the only thing baby, i think i know
Oh baby
When the hurt is over
Lord maybe love will flow
I said when the hurt is over, baby
And all the pain is gone
Maybe i will learn how to love again y'all
When the hurt is over, over
Lord when all the pain is gone
