The song was written by Bell, produced by Heads Up Productions and Dee Marais, was released with "Hummin' A Sad Song", also written by Bell on Murco Records as his debut 45". The song became one of Bell's best known songs, and emblematic of his high tenor voice.Kip Lornell, Tracey E. W. Laird 'Shreveport Sounds in Black and White' 2008 --1604733039 Page 321 "Arguably Reuben Bell was the most talented artist to work with Dee Marais. A first-class writer, ...His high tenor vocals were at their best, in my view, when extracting every ounce of emotion from those slow, often almost unbearably sad ballads he specialized in. His first 45, "It's Not That Easy," is a marvelous example of this, with its minor-keyed bluesy feel. "Living Blues - Issues 155-160 2001 - Page 103 " and Reuben Bell, whose high-pitched pipes shimmer on It's Not That Easy, You're Gonna Miss Me, and three more." Dave Godin selected the song for his 'Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures : Taken from the Vaults' Vol.1 compilation. ReferencesCategory:1967 singles Category:1967 songs | |
