right on the "Money", Mr Strong. We'll be hearing this again in the Tax Day set, presumably.

OMG! BOS1 to the Supes, gone schmaltz on "The Happening." That fickle finger of fate!

BOS2 to the forgotten (and fably named) Velvelettes. And they're right.

agreed on both counts. Did ya see that story about the gay-hookup iPhone app, Grindr? Most depressing thing I've read in ages.

Ahhh, I see. No worries, mate, as we New Zealanders say.

Oh, MAH-vin! Oh, Tammy! Oh, BOS4!

Most egregiously overexposed of set: "My Girl". Yeah, it's a classic, but I prefer my Motown deep.

i love it, sounds like a wacky 60s sex romp movie theme starring Peter Sellers and/or Tony Curtis.

I had never heard of that app until now. I see its allure, but there's a part of me that pines for the days when people met one another randomly instead of calculatedly.

Is "My Baby Must Be a Magician" deep enough for ya? BOS4 from me.

BOS5 "Mah baby must be a mortician -- 'cause he sho' 'nuff makes me stiff"

Wish I could listen today, but no such luck with our weekly sales meeting due to be called any second. Got to listen to pretty much the entire Saturday Marathon over the weekend, what a great week we just had.

a flashback to the fall of '67, when I first discovered Top 40 radio: this, Smokey's "Second That Emotion" and the Vandellas' "Honey Child" were all in the Top 20. Heaven.
-
most onomatopoetic of set: My baby must be a magician, b/c he sure has the magic touch:
Booinnnng!
or maybe that's the sound of a Schwinnng!

Stevie's Uptight -- you'd be too if Bill Cosby came along and ruined your song a year later.

We're getting stereo versions on these -- Dave would be upset.

so what did you think of the piece in the Chron? did it seem like it took a responsible and fair angle? keep in mind it was in the Datebook section.

That was where I heard about it -- it was pretty straightforward about how it's being used, which was what made me so sad. Gay men are such dogs they make Tiger Woods look like a eunuch.

AL needs a fact-checker. She asserted that "Shop Around" was Motown's first #1. Nope - it peaked at #2. First #1 was "Please Mr. Postman."

yes, it did paint gay guys pretty broadly, but I'm wondering if you thought that was fair or whether it reinforced stereotypes.

Would you settle for Anthony Quinn, George Maharis, and Faye Dunaway?

And yes, this very tune was the title song in the soundtrack?
Great set this am, but I couldn't listen in a location I could post from and vice versa, so I chose listening. My BOS picks would have been the Smokey, Velvelettes, and Marvin & Tammi tunes.
