William's Song a Day Blog - est. September 2007

From: Oogum Boogum ; Year: 1967; Genre: R&B/Soul I had this record playing in my mind again, so I played it in actuality; not like there's ever a bad time to play this artist's amazing work, right?

From: Oogum Boogum ; Year: 1967; Genre: Soul/R&B Gimme Little Sign has a distinction, (for me at least), in which some of it's best attributes are actually a bit of a liability. Don't get me wrong, I love the song and such, but that infectious melody can really, really, really stuck in your head, and that's just after one listening. A sign of great writing and arranging on Brenton Wood's and co's. part. Other than that it's a great track across the board, and that fabulous organ solo is the cherry on top.   Hear Gimme Little Sign on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Duran Duran - Too Much Information   My song pick 2 years ago today: Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire   My song pick 3 years ago today: Sly and the Family Stone - Sex Machine My song pick 4 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Crossword My song pick 5 years ago today: Blood, Sweat & Tears - You've Made Me So Very Happy My song pick 6 years ago today: Mike + The Mec...
