Some of the label’s best tracks are by some of its lesser known artists, and if you’re not familiar with them, you might like to check out <i>Money</i> by Barrett Strong (covered by the Beatles on their second album) and <i>Do You Love Me?</i> by the Contours.<br />Dennis Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409579380626581592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290973459084131413.post-71630462078058849632013-01-29T20:51:36.930+08:002013-01-29T20:51:36.930+08:00I'll have to check out some of the bands you&#...I'll have to check out some of the bands you've mentioned here.

Sorry it’s taken so long but I’ve only recently returned from a skiing trip. In response to your question about Orwell’s essay on Tolstoy, yes, I have read it. Look for <i>The Man who would be King</i>, a piece I posted on 5 July, 2010. It’s great to be on your Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290973459084131413.post-54458691276059023052011-01-05T21:11:46.265+08:002011-01-05T21:11:46.265+08:00i cannot think of anything better to trigger memor...i cannot think of anything better to trigger memories than music. i also live Malvin Gaye.Yun Yihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311104014692132715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290973459084131413.post-81224331273127955302011-01-04T21:17:36.430+08:002011-01-04T21:17:36.430+08:00Yes, it is.Yes, it is.Bruce Coltinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12861316663245952372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290973459084131413.post-12049305165133047822011-01-04T20:59:22.278+08:002011-01-04T20:59:22.278+08:00Yes Bruce.
