To all, I am trying to remember a song that I heard from the late '60s (I think) that was sung by a black male singer.  The song was about his father, who was dying, telling him (the son) that he was going to have to take over and be the man of the family.  It was a medium paced song but was sung in a sad and soulful manner.  I do remember that the singer was not a famous one, but this single did pretty well the year it was out.  I know this isn't much to go off of, but it is a great song that I would like to listen to. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Per chatgpt

The song you're describing sounds like "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" by The Temptations, released in 1972. While the song is more famous, it does convey themes of a father’s influence and the responsibilities left to his son. However, since you mentioned the singer wasn't very famous, you might be thinking of “Ain't No Sunshine” by Bill Withers, which also has a soulful tone about loss and longing.

Another possibility could be "The Last Time" by The Rolling Stones, but that doesn't fit your description of a black male singer. 

If these don’t match, consider “Just the Two of Us” by Bill Withers, which captures a father-son dynamic, though it’s more about guidance than loss.

If none of these songs resonate, there may be other lesser-known tracks from that era by artists like Curtis Mayfield or Jimmy Ruffin that fit your description.

G650 just dunked on chatgpt, and gloriously so.

 

I honestly was chuckling to myself reading the ChatGPT nonsense while I typed. This is why I don't worry but so much about AI, it's so absurd.

 

To be fair I love me some Clarence Carter. Slip Away is in regular rotation on my music player. And don't forget the classic that is Strokin.

If OP had googled it and grabbed the entirety of the 2nd page of (incorrect) search results, he would have had ChatGPT's answer. It just packages that slop with a wordy description of why it is not what you're looking for. Along with other useless facts presented as though they would be helpful to another question that was not asked. I don't get it.
