Question
QUESTION: Skimmer:
I asked this question before but didn't have the lyrics quite right. This is a R&B song from the 70's.
"He walked into the party,
And looked at everybody in the room.
She looked into those flaming eyes.
She went and stood beside him.
I thought she moved just a little too soon
I must admit to my surprise."
He's just a freak. (He don't love nobody)
He don't dance. (He just wants your body)
He's just a gigolo. (I don't think she really knows)
What is the correct title of this song and who sings it???
ANSWER: Hi Robaire,
Great song! THis is "The Gigolo" by O'Bryan. It was released in 1982 on the album "Doin' Alright". O'Bryan had another big hit with a remake of Stevie Wonder's "You and I" in 1983, as well as "Lady I Love You" in 1984.
I have included the lyrics below. Hope this helps and thanks for the question!
LYRICS:
He walked into the party
And looked at everybody in the room
She looked into those flaming eyes
She went and stood beside him
I thought she moved just a little too soon
I must admit to my surprise
He would not dance with her
He could not stay he said
He got no time to waste
He took her to, he took her to bed
(He’s just a freak) He don’t love nobody
(He’s won’t dance) He just wants your body, baby
(He’s just a gigolo) I don’t think she really knows, ooh, yeah
(He’s just a freak) He don’t love nobody
(He’s won’t dance) He just wants your body, baby
(He’s just a gigolo) I don’t think she really knows
I could not understand it
I don’t know why she followed him home
She had not seen this man before
He touched her with his body
And then she could not leave him alone
They left me standing on the phone
He would not dance with her
He could not stay he said
He got no time to waste
He took her to, he took her to bed
(He’s just a freak) He don’t love nobody
(He’s won’t dance) He just wants your body, baby
(He’s just a gigolo) I don’t think she really knows, oh, no
(He’s just a freak) He don’t love nobody
(He’s won’t dance) He just wants your body, baby
(He’s just a gigolo) I don’t think she really knows
(He’s just a freak)
(He’s won’t dance)
(He’s just a gigolo)
(He’s just a freak)
(He’s won’t dance)
(He’s just a gigolo)
(He’s just a freak) He don’t love nobody
(He’s won’t dance) He just wants your body, baby
(He’s just a gigolo) I don’t think you really know, ooh, yeah
(He’s just a freak) He don’t love nobody
(He’s won’t dance) He just wants your body, baby
(He’s just a gigolo) I don’t think you really know
(He’s just a freak) He don’t love nobody
(He’s won’t dance) He just wants your body, baby
(He’s just a gigolo) I don’t think you really know, oh, no
(He’s just a freak) He don’t love nobody
(He’s won’t dance) He just wants your body, baby
(He’s just a gigolo) I don’t think you really know, oh
(He’s just a freak) He don’t love nobody
(He’s won’t dance) He just wants your body, baby
(He’s just a gigolo) I don’t think you really know, oh, no
(He’s just a freak)

QUESTION: Skimmer:
I checked out "Hush, Somebody's Calling My Name". Damita Jo
did not make this recording. I checked out her Musicology and it was not listed....so my search continues.

Answer
Robaire! You give up too easily... : )
Damita Jo did do "Hush, Somebody's Calling My Name" in late 1960-early 1961. It was on the flip side of the single "Keep Your Hands Off of Him. Below is a link for you to purchase the single if you care to. An additional link looks to be a place to purchase the album.
