(Description to follow)
--LYRICS--
My little Margie,
I'm always thinking of you, Margie,
I'll tell the world I love you;
Don't forget your promise to me,
I have bought a home and ring and ev'rything,
for Margie
You've been my inspiration,
Days are never blue:
After all is said and done
There is really only one
Oh! Margie, Margie, it's you!
[instrumental]
Margie, I'll tell the world I love you;
Don't forget your promise to me,
I have bought a home and ring and ev'rything,
for Margie
You've been my inspiration,
Days are never blue:
After all is said and done
There is really only one
Oh! Margie, Margie, it's you!

| Margie Hendrix - Don't Destroy Me |
 |
Am I the only person on Earth that's
fascinated by this woman? I first heard about
her years ago when I purchased Michael
Lydon's excellent Ray Charles biography "Ray
Charles: Man And Music". Not only did Mr.
Lyndon do a great job of letting us know who
Ray Charles really was but he painted a vivid
portrait of one of the original Raelettes,
Miss Margie Hendrix. For anyone who doesn't
know, Margie Hendrix aka Margie Hendricks was
an original member of The Cookies and then
became an original Raelette when Ray took
over the group and changed their name in the
1950's. Margie sang many duets with Ray
(including 'Hit The Road Jack') and also
became his lover. They had a child named
Charles Wayne sometime in the early 60's.
Margie was fired by Ray in 1964 and then
recorded for the Tangerine, Mercury and Sound
Stage 7 labels before she passed away in
1973. Her life was short but she left some
wonderful records behind. The lady could
BLOW! Here's a few of my favorites: 'MY BABY
( I LOVER HER, YES I DO)' - Excellent early
60's duet with Ray. Both of them really belt
this one out. 'RESTLESS' - This one was
recorded for Mercury Records. It's a nice
midtempo and I think I read somewhere that
it's a Northern Soul favorite. 'JIM DANDY' -
Margie recorded a soulful remake of LaVern
Baker's 1950's classic 'Jim Dandy' for Sound
Stage 7 Records in the late 60's. 'I CALL YOU
LOVER BUT YOU AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A TRAMP' -
This is my hands down favorite by Miss
Hendrix. Recorded for Mercury, it's a very
sassy uptempo number with a kick azz band.
I'll never understand how records like this
failed to make the charts. I haven't even
begun to scratch the surface of her recorded
material but this is what I've heard so far
and I've liked them all. I'm sure that she
recorded several other gems that I'm not
familiar with. I'm always on the lookout for
a good record by her. Does anyone have a
discography of her work? Actress Regina King
plays Margie in the upcoming Ray Charles
movie "Ray". (Jamie Foxx plays Ray). I read
an article where Regina was saying that she
didn't have much to go by when preparing for
her role as Margie because there is almost no
info available about her anywhere. Not even
by Classic Soul artist standards! Hopefully
we can all put what we know about this
amazing vocalist together and change all
that! I'm anxious to know a few things about
Margie. I've heard conflicting reasons for
her death in 1973. The main story is that it
was a drug overdose but I've also read that
she died of cancer. Someone else wrote on
another forum that it was a car accident.
What was her real cause of death? I'm also
curious about her son with Ray, Charles
Wayne. In Michael Lydon's biography of Ray he
mentions all of Ray's children with different
woman but says absolutely nothing about
Margie's son Charles Wayne except that he was
born in the early 60's. Is Charles still
living? Margie Hendrix fans or anyone else
should feel free to share anything they know
about this tragic and talented woman. By
Rodman

Lyrics:
{Margie singing}
What's wrong with my mind
What's come over me
I thought I saw your face
Wearing a smile
Dimple on the side
What's come over me
(What's come over me)
What's come over me
(What's come over me)
{Ted singing}
What's wrong with my ears
They're decieving me
I thought I heard you speak
Calling my name
I must be insane
I just can't explain
What's come over me
(What's come over me)
What's come over me
(What's come over me)
Don't tell me I stumbled upon you
Or is my mind in a daze
For this can't be as real as I want it
For you let me go, and went away
So come feel it
(What's come over me)
{Margie singing}
Just look at me now
Seems like I'm floating on a cloud
What could this be
What's come over me
(What's come over me, over me, over me)
What's come over me
Oh ohh ohhhh
I love you so
Don't wanna let you go
Ohhh baby, baby
(What's come over me)
Don't you want to know
Love you baby
(Over me, over me, over me)
Don't you want to know
[Spoken]
{Ted} You see
{Margie whispers} You see
{Ted} I must have gone through some changes
when I kissed your picture
{Margie whispers} I must have gone through
some changes when I kissed your picture
{Ted} And hey, my mind just keeps on
wondering
{Margie whispers} And hey, my mind just keeps
on wondering
{Ted} And you only left me yesterday
{Margie whispers} And you only left me
yesterday
{Ted} I never been to heaven
{Margie whispers} I never been to heaven
{Ted} Instead I spent the night with you
{Margie whispers} Instead I spent the night
with you
{Ted} Maybe that's the reason
{Margie whispers} Maybe that's the reason
{Ted} I don't know what to do
{Margie whispers} I don't know what to do
{Ted} What's come over me
(What's come over me)
(Over me, over me, over me)
{Margie} Oh baby I love you so
{Ted}What's come over me
{Margie} I can't even explain the feeling
(What's come over me)
(Over me, over me, over me)
All I want to do
Is to love you, Teddy
{Ted} What's come over me
Over, and over, and over, and over
And I just can't sleep
{Margie} Let me be good to you
Can't help myself
I love you Teddy
Baby, baby, baby, babe...
