[marbleflat]

The bankers' anthem..

[JohnRinNoHo]

I haven't heard this in over 30 years.

[KallenK]

what have you been listening to???

[JohnRinNoHo]

Ha ha, In Los Angeles area there is only one radio station that plays 60's oldies and they seem to have a limited playlist that does not include this song. Plus I pretty much quit listening to radio music about 25 years ago.

Take comfort, all those who are busted, in the fact that no condition is permanent.

A season of famine will be followed by a period of plenty and then famine again; the cycle is unending.

The right thing to do is to save for rainy days when the sun is shining. :)

My Mum bought this on a single in the early sixties. We live in a two up two down terrace in a lancashire mining village; had about five records in the house and I played and played and played this and never got sick of it; still one of my all time favourites and one of the reasons i am a lifelong lover of soul music.  Thanks for posting, making it available.

[bigjohnowens]
