In The Rain
August 16, 2020
Seems I was a bit premature to state that 1967 was the beginning of the end of bubblegum soul. How do I know that? Take a look at the top 100 R&B songs from 1970. Geez, 50 years ago. Can I have a redo??
(However, note the titles of the Temptations‘ songs. We’re not in “Beauty’s Only Skin Deep” anymore.)
