Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

As we prepare to cross the border into the money half of the week, I bring you some first-class, floor-filling, spellbinding Motor City soul.<\/p>\n

I always pick up Tamla\/Motown LPs when I find them in the field.<\/p>\n

They are often heavily played but since they are also cheap, and usually harbor songs of interest, they go on the keeper pile without hesitation.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have much to say about Smokey Robinson<\/strong> that hasn\u2019t already been chiseled into granite elsewhere, other than, whoa<\/em>, that voice, and double-whoa<\/em>, all those songs.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, today\u2019s selection did not spring from the prolific pen of Mr. Robinson, but rather the mighty Frank \u2018Do I Love You\u2019 Wilson!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is one of those records that can be held up as a prime example of the Motown record-makers (including Funk Brothers,<\/strong> producers and songwriters) art.<\/p>\n

It is a propulsive dancer, filled with hooks and played (if you\u2019ll excuse the expression) like a motherfucker.<\/em><\/p>\n

The band is absolutely relentless in precision and drive, and Smokey is right on the money, especially when (at around 2:12) he mounts the word \u201cI\u201d and rides it on out of the studio into the sunset.<\/p>\n

This is pure dance floor heat, from the opening drum roll right on into the fade out.<\/p>\n

\u2018Whole Lotta Shakin\u2019 In My Heart (Since I Met You)\u2019 just made it into the R&B Top 20 in the summer of 1966, grazing the Pop Top 50.<\/p>\n

It is a monster, and I hope youdig it as much as I do.<\/p>\n

See you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n

Larry<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
