And maybe the Glen Campbell version.

Sounds too mellow and restrained to be called Hot Dog this.

This is a good example of how they seemed to straddle the '50s, '60s and '70s this.

There's a doo-wop, early R&B, Motown and funk blend that's quite unique.

by Nightjar Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:17 pm

Very easy listening with kn*bs on this one.

by Nightjar Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:18 pm

Big horns.

by Nightjar Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:19 pm

More big horns.

Strong Motown sound.

by Nightjar Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:19 pm

Very Smokey this.

Oh, it's Ain't That Peculiar. doh

These songs are dementedly short.

Ravel's BOLLEROH.

This one's a bit unremarkable.

by Nightjar Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:26 pm

It's worth noting that there really another soul or R&B band that sound like them.

I guess that The Stylistics tried to copy them in the '70s, but still...

by Nightjar Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:26 pm

Going Out of My Head...

More sophistication and nuance.

by Nightjar Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:27 pm

Good song this.

by Nightjar Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:27 pm

Verging into Bacharach territory.

by Nightjar Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:29 pm

Oh, this is when the 'Phonics come into their own.

Very original.

Complex melodic arrangement.

by Nightjar Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:31 pm

This is like if black people decided to do Prog, but slower and soulful and before white people even thought of it and started being annoying.
