Second Listen: "Are We Breaking Up" (Joe Simon)


Grammy Award winner Joe Simon is noted as being one of the major male artists in R&B/Soul music during the late 60s through the 70s and while he eventually decided to retire from R&B and dedicate his vocal prowess to Gospel music, the last single of Simon's to chart is the emotional ballad "Are We Breaking Up." While I am sure this will be a first listen for many, this song warrants to become a second or third listen. With that said, take a listen to the 1981 gem below and Enjoy!

  1. Wow didn't recognize Joe Simon from that album cover. This is good - I think had Bobby Womack done this song it would have been big. It sort of reminds me of "Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much" and "If You Think You're Lonely Now"
