  1. Yes, theres a treasure trove in there; Also ‘Rain On The Roof’- schlock but still sweet, ‘A Place In The Sun’ – just the start of Stevie beginning to flex his muscles, ‘Poor Side Of Town,’ Rivers rarely moved from convention, but with his voice he could sell any song.

  3. Back in that day, my wife and me were teenagers. She loved the song “96 Tears,” and I hated it. The only reason guys listened to the Supremes was because their girlfriend loved them, and the AM radio had but a few stations. Mellow Yellow, about smoking banana peels. We did weird stuff back then.
