Description

Jimmy Barnes wrote and recorded this track with soul artist Rahsaan Patterson and it features Startrack artist Roscoe P. Coldchain. Unbelievably funky.

It featured on Barnesy's "Double Happiness" album of duets:

"My daughter Mahalia met Rahsaan in a club one night and Rah came back to my place. I was away at the time but Rahsaan knew who I was and said he wanted to meet me. A couple of years later he came back to tour. We were having a dinner party one night and Mahalia turns up with Rahsaan in tow. We hit it off really well. He was doing a show the next night at the Basement and I went down with Mica Paris who knew Rashaan from previous encounters. He's an unbelievable singer. We're watching Rahsaan and it was frightening. Of course, halfway through the set he says, 'I've got a friend here I'd like to get up and sing'. I'm thinking. 'Please not me.' And he says, 'Mica Paris'. The two of them are tearing the place apart. Then he said, 'I've got another friend I'd like to get up — Jimmy Barnes. It was sheer panic on my part. Later on I said, ‘I'm doing this album of duets and I'd love to do a duet with you. I think it was destined to be that way'. So we got together with writer/producer Jarrad Rodgers in the studio at my home one afternoon and wrote and recorded this song. I had some lyrics in a lyric book I keep. I had an idea for a song along the lines of, 'I want to leave before you do because I don't want to see you walk out'. One of my usual paranoid lyrics. Rashaan was working on some very sweet vocals and they were working on the melody of the track. My idea of the lyric was angrier than they were approaching it. I was hanging back and letting them do their thing and then finally I said, 'Keep that bit you've got and let me do this piece here'. The two parts married really well and before we knew it we had 'Say It Ain't So' which I think is one of the more unusual tracks on the album, but one of the better tracks as well."
