I got so wrapped up in what's out in the music world now that I almost completely forgot about the foundation set with the music from the late 60's to early 80's. You have probably heard your elders refer to it as that 'good music'; a time when music had meaning; the genre my band director affectionately calls the 'blue light special'. I'm talking about The Stylistics, The Emotions, The Delfonics, Smokey Robinson, etc.
People making the world go around while asking have you seen her; Seconding emotions while wondering what the lonely do at Christmas. Getting that natural high, finding love on a two way street, all the while proclaiming that you ain't too proud to beg.
I'll give my father credit for very few things in my life. I dedicate my accomplishments to spite him, but I will give him the credit for introducing me to this good music. Good looking Eddie, you're not a complete failure.
