    HUNG ON YOU by the McCoys?
    They were sidetracked and
    were thinking of the flip
    side of UNCHAINED MELODY, which
    is listed on the top 30.

    So the Spinners show up with
    I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. Always
    liked this song on the radio.
    A Motown semi-hit for the time.

    I had not heard I'LL ALWAYS LOVE
    YOU since 1965.
    I was at a pool party a few weeks ago
    and they had some oldies channel on
    the speakers. I couldn't believe it
    when that song came on. None of
    the other songs being played were
    obscure. It still sounded great on
    the radio. It was never heard from
    after it's run 45 years ago.

    Just sayin........

    I never understood why "I'll Aways Love You" was a big hit. It might have been hurt by all the other
    Motown hits that were out at the same time by the major Motown acts.

    I meant NOT a big hit.

    If you ain't got the tune, go to
    youtube.come and you can download it.
    Strip it as an MP3 and it's yours
    forever.

    Fortunately I have the 45.
    It's nice to be able to hold the original.

    Just sayin.........

    As good, if not better were two by the Spinners: "Truly Yours" in '66 and the big hit, "It's A Shame" in 1970. Anyone remember those titles?

    Trivia question: who brought the Spinners to Motown? Answer: the recently departed Harvey Fuqua of the Moonglows who released the Spinners "That's What Girls Are Made For" on his Tri Phi label.

    Fuqua also discovered Marvin Gaye when he hired him and members of a D.C. group called the Rainbows to replace the original Moonglows.

    Pretty good track record I'd say.

    Were those really supposed to be good looking Inland Empire women on the KFXM pool shot?

    Looks like there are bulges where there shouldn't be, beginning rolls of fat...And the AA bra cup was the norm then?
