You're a natural born historian for this kind of stuff and your knack for the facts, combined with your curator's passion for the subject, makes this list a joy to read. I look forward to seeing what you come up with as you get into the later parts of the Whitfield catalog, as you know much more about that stuff than I. Keep up the great work - I know it's a Herculean task but it'll be worth it.Schlockmaniac #1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02758758594710539646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213270.post-85632472741167355412010-05-13T10:51:49.741-04:002010-05-13T10:51:49.741-04:00Brian, we're going to try to wrap this up by F...Brian, we're going to try to wrap this up by Friday night!

That Underdo...Sheesh, is this gonna take all week?<br /><br />That Underdogs cut is one of my favorites -- a weird hybrid of garage rock and blue-eyed soul that manages to NOT sound like Young Rascals knock-off.<br /><br />I think I prefer Gladys' version of "Grapevine," but I also like the Smokey Robinson track (was that a demo?), which sounds kind of like the Gaye version, but with a snappier drum track.<br /><br />And why no images of the Undisputed Truth in their faux-albino OMEGA MAN wigs?The Dead Next Doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863966812235446685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213270.post-67076080242686386392010-05-12T16:27:44.246-04:002010-05-12T16:27:44.246-04:00Oh my God, do I love "Smiling Faces Sometimes...Oh my God, do I love "Smiling Faces Sometimes."
