We should all read the Bible and start telling our little children that all that is happening now is in the Bible. Amen can't stop listening to this song. 7:04
I can remember my parents playing this album. I had to find it because I've been saying the hook to this song for 2 weeks. R.i.P. Dimples your music lives on for sure❤
On this day in 1982 {May 22nd} Richard 'Dimples' Fields performed "If It Ain't One Thing...It's Another" on the ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... At the time the song was in it's second of three weeks at #47 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, that was also it's peak position on the chart and it spent a total of ten weeks on the Top 100... Sadly, Richard 'Dimples' passed away at the young age of 57 on January 12th, 2000 {a stroke}... May he R.I.P.
The significance of this song goes deep not just for America.. even to the state of the world.. even more than that.. he didn’t know he was about to die when this song was being recorded. So him saying “I might not see ya” and him talking about heaven and all that was prophetic to the world and to himself. Awesome job Rich! You will never be forgotten because of gems like this.
Just wanted to say I loved this song and still do love this song. I have not heard this song in over 25 years. It made me cry because I know what he is talking about and I know he believed what his grandmother was talking to him about. He will be missed but I look forward to seeing him one day in paradise
1982 this was the song that made me read the Bible for the first time as an adult. I've never been the same. That was 36 years ago and I'm still serving the Lord. Look up the verses he quotes that's what I did. I found the one person at work that I knew had a Bible and asked her could I borrow it. But don't talk to me I don't I just want to borrow your Bible, God bless you Olivia you have no clue what you did for me.
ONE OF MY CHILDHOOD SONGS. ❤❤❤❤LOVE THIS. HE STATED FACTS,I COULDN'T SEE IT BACK THEN,LIFE WASN'T AS BAD AS IT IS NOW. RICHARD EVEN QUOTED SCRIPTURES IN THIS,WHICH MADE IT ALL THE MORE A GOOD SONG. I WAS SINGING IT BACK IN MY DAYS,BUT NOW I HAVE THE FULL MEANING OF IT.👍❤✌🙏
If yoy really understand were he coming from back then YOU understand when the government took preying OUT of school what we think GOING to happen.. Really JUST THINK WHEN TRUMP PUT THAT TXT on china then that corona came OUT.. OPEN your eyes and mind please because uf we don't we must understand this is CANNOT touch what's coming next.. That's why we must be in JESUS IN STAY IN HIM AND NEVER LOSE OUR FAITH IN HIM.. WHEN YOU HAVE TIME LISTEN TO GOD IS MY EVERYTHING
Jan. 12 marked the 8 year anniversary of my dads death.. it's coo that i can come on here and read about how much you guys loved him and what his music meant to you.. I'm still reading all of the messages in his inbox but I'll reply to all of them i promise! Thanks again for the love and support! Rest in Heaven papa bear! I know you have to be smiling right now because i can't seem to stop :0)..
It's so sad and so true!!! It doesn't matter what country you live we all have same problems over and over again. This song is so true!!! God bless Richard Fields in heaven
I knew this song since my childhood. Today I am still touched by this master piece. I cannot believe that he has passed on. RIP bro, and thanks for your contribution.
Rose Robinson those memories was the best music was music violence was less a t least you know then you will be here to see another day O the memories sometimes it gd to go bk !!!
I remember when this song first came out also. This song is timeless from 1982 up until now,same thing going on. The monologue at the end offers positive hope and you don't hardly hear that too often in secular music. Beautiful track hands down. Just found out Mr. Fields had passed may he rest in peace and not be forgotten. Have a peaceful journey,"Dimples"!
I remember what I was doing when this song came out. Was JUST getting started in life....those were the MOST very good times! And this song just added to the good times and eased the troubled times in life. Everyone could identify with SOMETHING in this song. We all appreciated the Bible part, as well. The message was, and today still so true.... "If it ain't one thing, it's another". What a masterpiece to share! 🙏😇🙋
This song take me back to when use to love to listen to the old folk's talk...about thing's in the world going on like this....an I use to say that not going to happen, my mother bless her heart ...use read us the bible an already told us this book don't lie.... everything thing here will come to pass I may not be here an see it but u will see a whole lot of it....I love good spiritual song like this.Sadie song is another good one...& Don't forget o'Jay family reunion.....Love y'all stay in touch with GOD always...
We have seen nothing in 2019 this corona going on got the hold 🌎 up side down. But if you read revelations it could have told use what going to happen. First shall be last and the last shall be first. GOD let's this happened bringing individuals to Him LOL He did not give is the SPIRIT OF fear but a strong mind in Him
Don't worry for we fans have you in our thoughts. BTW, I would play this song over and over again on weekends when I was cleaning up my apartment "back in the day". Beautiful music and message.
This song has so munch meaning even in this time of day, here we are 2017 and this song make so much sense now and should be #1 on the Billboards I believe. This guy has a great voice and very soothing rhythm all around. Hate if you must, but I will keep praying for you!
I loves this song Mr. DIMPLES is talking about life. I still listen to that song. It tells all about what is happening in this world. He told nothing but the truth. Mr. DIMPLES was one of the greatest singer in the world. Really miss him!❤
It’s always going to be playing because Gods word never comes back void. The message back then is needed for today this is the perfect song to play forever. 🙏🏼✝️ blessing Groucho ✝️❤️🎼
God Bless your Father & may his Soul & Spirit R I P the first time I heard this song it was so heart breaking. I will never forget Mr Dimples as long as breath is in my body

This song is more relevant today than when it came out in the 80s
Amen

This song has a powerful message for us all
And it's true. Nerves going up and smoke and the doctor gives you dope to cope. I know exactly what he's talking about here.
To bad that more people don't set back and really listen to what he is saying and really think about the song after it is finished
One of our greatest rip mr fields ❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

We use to listen to this every morning before going to school. I miss the late 70s and early 80s!

Who still listening in 2020 ?
It would be good for us in 2020 to take heed to his message as we are nearer to what what he was talking about than when he sang. Dan 2:44
I am
Indeed... just as sure as Revelations chapter 21 was instilled in me at 13 years old when this song came out in 1982.
I am
@@cherylwalker3041 me too... by the way are you on FB?
I went to see Richard dimples 30 years ago he saved my life. Love him
Did Richard talk Bible truth to you linda about God's Kingdom?
I love this. Very old, but my parents played it for me when I was a little girl. It was popular then, and it's still popular with me TODAY!!!!
Monica Charley that's awesome / a permanent good memory for you
The significance of this song goes deep not just for America.. even to the state of the world.. even more than that.. he didn’t know he was about to die when this song was being recorded. So him saying “I might not see ya” and him talking about heaven and all that was prophetic to the world and to himself.
Awesome job Rich! You will never be forgotten because of gems like this.
So true!!! Ty didn't know whole story! My jam for over 30yrs!!!
Huh? He dies 18 years after this record was released. What did you mean?
“If it ain’t one thang…..it’s another!” Everytime 👌🏾
My mom had this on a 45 when I was waaaaaay younger....I'm 45 now and I remember all the lyrics 😊
Just wanted to say I loved this song and still do love this song. I have not heard this song in over 25 years. It made me cry because I know what he is talking about and I know he believed what his grandmother was talking to him about. He will be missed but I look forward to seeing him one day in paradise

I never knew Richard "Dimples" Fields actually ministers at the end of this song. #Sweet
Hard believe earlier complain 'bout ugly lady having his baby!?
Very Prophetic!
I never knew it either until many years later when I finally heard the full-length version of this song here on YT.
@@elliecarrol2126 I believe it was a boy named Groucho
That’s because the always play the radio version, they don’t want to hear about The coming of the Lord
2022 and I'm still in love with this song. ❤️❤️❤️
The record company needs to reissue this in cd format asap
Lovely song. It is VERY unusual that an actual singer will sing about real hope when all the others aren't . Wonderful ending.
It's so sad and so true!!! It doesn't matter what country you live we all have same problems over and over again. This song is so true!!! God bless Richard Fields in heaven
A genuine classic, my niece took her first steps during the time this song came out,,,very beautiful
I knew this song since my childhood. Today I am still touched by this master piece. I cannot believe that he has passed on. RIP bro, and thanks for your contribution.
