So that means this one is REALLY before your time...but first a little back story that I don't think I ever told on SDF.

A bazillion years ago, Obie introduced me to Clarence Paul. Now back then, I wasn't as sophisticated about the who, what, and where of all the musicians , composers, producers etc. as I am now but anyhoo, I thought Clarence was just a cool dude who knew the Tops and liked music. One day we were hanging out at his place and I was spinning records [[he had an awesome collection) and I ran across the song I'm about to post. I LOVE THIS SONG and told him so. He started laughing and I didn't know why until he asked me to stop the music and look at the record.....oH s@$#t....HE WROTE THE SONG......LOL ...TALK ABOUT EMBARRASSED And just a side note, Clarence is the one who introduced me to Ronnie Mac....didn't have a clue about him back then either ahahahaha.....MEMORIES

Well Ms_M, "Rescue Me" came out in 1965 and I was in grade school. Ain't no need in my lying. My parents use to have house parties and that was one I clearly along with Shotgun, Can't Help Myself, anything by James Brown etc that year. Obie was my friend too. Help us get into clubs during special events LOL! I use to run into them on the road in whatever city I was living at the time and go see them on stage and backstage to cue the homesickness I got sometimes.

I loved Purple Raindrops and Purple snowflakes. That is a funny story you told about Clarence Paul, hehehehehehe...............
