As I've said elsewhere before, I feel really lucky to have gotten in on the
tail end of this era as it peaked (says me) in the early to mid-70s, then
dribbled out into the 80s.
The greatest singles almost always ANNOUNCE themselves. You know it's I
Want You Back, or Mama Tried or I'll Take You There or Go All The Way or
The Wonder Of You or Let's Stay Together or Day After Day and on and on,
almost from note one.
Like Linda, I wish barry's subject line was more prognostication than
historical desctription. --david cantwell
