Hello

wonder if you revisited your Motown collection and heard anything you never noticed before that's pleased you made you smile or made those hairs stand up on the back of your neck

my contribution is "something about you" by the Four tops  Is the baritone sax burping away  in the background all the way through. Who played that sax it was on so many early Tunes .  This old heart of mine was another classic for the baritone

 "Behind that painted smile"  Who is that drummer going at that frantic pace.

Law of the land Is awesome don't you agree when the second drummer starts half way through on the left hand channel Again  who's that guy..  Maybe Bob will remember.

hey Bob....was the sax player Choker Campbell??

I stand corrected

back in the 70's  born 1951 here   I loved the album Dancing Machine By the Jackson five. the mind very cloudy at 59 forgive me  and i could not remember  why.. Ever been there yourself..

anyway I got  to hear it a gain a week or so back and it sounded awful I could not visualize why i played it so much. Funny how we all change  but do you know I love Stevie wonders Music of my mind Just for superwoman it sounded as good as it ever did.  I think Stevie's a great hook writer but for me his songs fall apart between the hooks for me personally.. But that song great. I loved his work up to signed sealed delivered.
