There's something that seems oddly dopey about it and yet it's just always a nice, fun song to play in the car, lol. I also like the bass line; it's kinda stilted but, again it's a fun thing to play on my own bass. "Castles In The Sand" surprised me with how beautiful a performance it actually is. And "Happy Street" is one of those things I keep re-discovering when I hear it on The Complete Motown Singles. This song, with those bongos that seemingly pick up speed as the song goes on is like a drug. Stevie sounds so confident and strident here, like he was having fun singing the song. I never think I'm going to get into this thing but it's such a genuinely good time, I hit the "repeat" button several times. And again, something about the bass line that I really like. I checked out the link you posted and that sounds really good. So, I think your post about the album was kind of like confirmation on some level like, OK, I already like 3 of these songs this'll be a nice, breezy bit of fun to have. So I went ahead and got this and the Contours "Do You Love Me" on ebay!
