hee hee good answer...for some reason I get a kick out of that imagery . BTW I like that you like the album. I'm not as invested as you , and believe me I am very defensive of my most beloved music, and happily nothing anyone can say can deter that.
If you thought that comparison was elephants and prunes , I also hear some of this in it [[ especially from Marvin):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8fGs7MxBJA which I'm glad I looked up because I've never seen it performed before.
Confessions : I actually bought this 45 as a teenager. Yes I was a tender soul!!
and could the intro to PLEDGE also almost go into ........I WILL SURVIVE:eek: .....
.
that issue could have been resolved so much easier than, " I'll never set foot in the studio with him again!!" Good grief what a pain that made this project. As soon as it became that , they should've said "this ain't gonna work." Why force it?? Contrived. Not saying they were enenies , but obviously not chums either.
Berry Gordy should've called Marvin and said ."Hey Marv smoke your reefer out in the car and then go into the studio ." Problem solved . IF that was all there was to it.
