Motown Songwriters Spotlight: James Dean & William Weatherspoon Parade #1

[WaitingWatchingLookingForAChance]

On the Kent CD, "One Track Mind! More Motown Guys" there is a tune "Can't Stop This Feeling" by Dean/Weatherspoon and Marilyn McLeod. I had high hopes but the band track was recorded in '68 and to me, it just didn't have the dynamics and pop of tracks recorded from '65 to '67. Kind of along the lines of "I Wish I Didn't Love You So" from the "Four Tops Now!" album. That one is nice, but nowhere as good as their material with Jimmy Ruffin.

Hey, 144, somehow, I like this Contours version MUCH better. Has a bit more punch to it. Thanks for turning me on to this!
