Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci...
He looks like a still
But his personality is nil!

Strawberries!  Raspberries!  All those good things!

Every single line in this song is, like, an impressionable non sequitur!

Whee!  Gaz Got The Hits!  Thanks for the shout-out.  Ironic song title for my current situation, though -- "I'm Doin' Fine Now" ...   :)

NYC, "I'm Doin' Fine" -- a song in search of a 3rd verse but an all-time-fave nonetheless. Wonder how the Spinners let this one get away (or did Thom Bell hide it from them?)
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

My guess is that Thom Bell was just writing too many hit singles at the time for the Spinners to tackle them all -- so he assembled a studio group to get that disc out as soon as possible.

I'll be playing softball tomorrow, probably stoned halfway out of my mind.

you're probably right, re: Mr Bell.  Imagine having too many great songs at once.

and per Messrs Wells & Canseco playin' stoned ain't necessarily a bad thang.

Wicky wacky!

speaking of Motown-period Isleys as Gaz was earlier -- "Behind a Painted Smile",  a wonderful single, even if it sounds like a 4 Tops castoff.
