About I'll Be Satisfied

"I'll Be Satisfied" is a popular song. Recorded and released by Jackie Wilson in 1959, the single peaked at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was a Top 10 R&B hit, peaking at # 6. It was written, like many of Wilson's early hits, by future Motown founder Berry Gordy along with Gordy's sister Gwendolyn and Roquel "Billy" Davis, writing under his songwriting alias of Tyran Carlo. This up-tempo rocker could best be described as "proto Motown", featuring many of the musical and lyrical features that Gordy would employ on his later recordings for his Motown Records label. The song was covered by Shakin' Stevens in 1982. It reached no. 10 in the UK chart and no. 5 in the Irish chart.

Just a kiss
Jjust a smile
Hold my hand for just once in a while.
That's all I need
All I need and I'll be satisfied.
Think of me
When you're away
Call me
Darling
Just once a day.
That's all I need
That's all I need and I'll be satisfied.
True love came to me
When I met you
True love makes me know I won't forget you.
When you're around me it makes me feel
Life is worth living
Baby
Love is so forgiving.
Just a kiss
Just a smile...
True love came to me
When I met you...
Just a kiss
Just a smile...
