Tell Him

About Tell Him

Tell Him was written by Carlton Black in 1963, and was sung by early R&B legend Patti Drew, both of whom were residents of Evanston, Illinois. Black sings on the recording; his bass is heard singing "Bom-Bom-Bom-Do" at the start of the song. "Tell Him" became a huge hit in Chicago and reached Number 90 on both the Billboard and Cashbox pop charts. The song appeared in Lee Daniels' 2013 film The Butler. Black says: "he's astonished at the feedback he's receiving since the movie came out. "In 1967, after Patti Drew went solo, she recorded the song again and it soared, reaching 22 on the Billboard Top R&B Singles chart. The song also featured in the Australian stage show: "Happy Days: The Arena Mega Musical" in 1999, which showcased famous songs from the late 1950s and early 1960s (the era in which the TV show Happy Days was set). It was song #20 in the show and was performed by Laura & Joanie (actresses Jo Beth Taylor, Pippa Grandison) and also featured on the soundtrack CD. The song was covered by Dionne Bromfield on her 2009 album, Introducing Dionne Bromfield. more »

If you ever see the boy for me
Tell him that I love him
Tell him that I care
If he ever needs me
Tell him I'll be there

It happened the other night
We argued but we didn't fight
He grabbed his bag and slammed the door
He hasn't been a-back here no more
If an' how you can see my boy
Tell him that I need him
Tell him he was right
Tell him that I miss him
Oh, each and every night

I didn't mean a word I said
Tell him I was wrong
And yes, if he'll just listen
Tell him to come back where he belongs

If you ever find that love of mine
Tell him to forgive me
Tell him don't be mean
I didn't mean to start it
I wish it was all just dream

Tell him
Tell him
Oh, how much I love
Oh, how much I need him
How much I love him
