Motown Monday ~ Tammi Terrell ~ I Can’t Believe You Love Me

What an awesome song and highlights the ultimate talent of this vocalist. Another who should have shined as a number one star.

This was Terrell’s first solo recording for “Motown” followed by “Come on and See Me”.

Another powerful voice of Motown but you wouldn’t know it since this was another artist Berry Gordy just left on the shelf.

Wednesday Woes ~ Like A Rolling Stone ~ Bob Dylan

I had a friend who said something to me in 1975 and I never forgot it.

He said don’t ever knock down the bridge once you’ve crossed over it. Because one day you may need it to cross back over again.

This is what this song is about.

The Song of and World Today. The Knickerbockers ~ Lies

Released in 1965

When this song came out I originally thought along with everybody in America that it was the Beatles.
