About this listen
Story by: Gail Nobles
Cover Art by: Gail Nobles
We’re taking a trip back to the vibrant disco-infused soul of the early '70s, all wrapped around a song that’s got a groove that'll make you move! I'm talking about "I'm Doin' Fine Now" from the sensational American R&B group New York City. Released in 1973 from their debut album – the same name, don’t ya know – this tune soared into the hearts of listeners, reaching number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
If you’ve ever had your heart stomped on, this is *the* song for you. The opening lines hit like a ton of bricks: "Remember the day you up and left, I nearly cried myself to death." Can’t you feel that pain? That longing? It’s like a trip down memory lane, taking us to a place where love was both sweet and sour. But hold on, because the magic doesn’t just lie in the heartache. The groove picks up as the narrative unfolds—a meeting with someone new, and boy, doesn’t she change everything? Suddenly, our narrator claims, “Oh girl, I’m doin' fine now, without you, baby.”
It’s all about that resilience! This song captures the moving on and finding that hope again. The harmonies? Tight as a drum! The instrumentation? Jiving and alive! The energy of this track is contagious, and it spread like wildfire across the charts! It was even the 46th most successful song of 1973 in the good ol' US of A.
With the smooth melodies bouncing off the walls, it's no wonder the song found its way into the hearts of so many, hitting number eight on the Billboard Easy Listening chart. So whether you’re reminiscing or ready to groove, "I'm Doin' Fine Now" is the anthem you need. It’s a celebration of moving on. So feel the groove, and remember, sometimes you gotta let go to find your flow. Keep it real, my friends!
I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to Soul POD Classics.
