From: 1-2-3; Year: 1965; Genre: Soul
Yet another one I have not heard in a very long time started playing in my mind a couple of days ago and has been there a lot ever since.
You would be forgiven for believing this one was from the Motown hit factory, but it was not, but rather a really well-done song in the style. The Motown songwriting powerhouse Holland-Dozier-Holland noticed as well and took issue with it sounding too much like the Supremes' b-side Ask Any Girl for their liking and ended up settling for 15% of the royalties as well as being listed as co-authors.

About My Song A Day Blog:

-
Image
Okay, What is this "Song a Day Blog?" Well, this is a hobby of mine that I have been at for over 18 years now, (since September First, 2007), in which I set aside a few minutes every day to create my ultimate playlist in a diary form, if you will. I try to add a different song each day and share with those who are interested as to why I like the song and the artist that performed it and/or maybe some facts about them. Myself, along with a few others, (the couple others who still remain active), have taken it upon themselves to create and maintain these song-a-day blogs; I highly recommend the other blogs that are linked to in the "Other Blogs I Follow and Find Interesting:" list below.  I have also provided links to the blogs that have gone dormant for one reason or another in the same list as well. Hope you enjoy!
