Just an idea. Lots of people dream of their super group. One of mine would be if Sam Moore, surviving member of Sam and Dave, was to join up with Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers. With some rehearsal, they could do music from both careers and put on a great show. Just a thought! Record producers, you listening? Come on, this pablum out here today stinks!

Love that song. My hubby tells me that when it first came out everyone thought they were black singing that song and were shocked to find out they weren't. Sort of like we were with Hall and Oates singing Sarah Smile..lol

If anything, it was the late 20th Century rise of the shopping mall that killed off malt shops, at least as a place where teenagers hung out, met and practiced social skills, enacted adolescent drama, fell in love for perhaps the first time and, most often of all, played music on the jukebox.

In response to my blog post yesterday, Steve Bucheit wrote this, which left me in high spirits and laughing very hard: With apologies to the Righteous Brothers.
