By jove marv,you've done it again!!!
This was one of my favorites when I was a kid. Chuck Jackson "Tell Him I'm Not Home" from 1963:
All Christmas week 1967 my neighbors wore this record by Al Greene out!
You better know it! Hey Russell! LOL!
Ahh get funky with it like it is 1970 again!
Karla's Daddy.....LOL!
If I may. I remember seeing the family dancing to this song:
One of the very best.......
Boy, this one was BIG back in the day.
Here's another favorite of mine. Should have been a monster hit. I actually prefer this one over Cowboys to Girls.
Remember this one?
Here's my absolute favorite Jerry Butler song.
One of the best and most underrated. Former member of the Dramatics, Wee Gee Howard!
