I've always been tempted by the Temptations but can you believe I didn't even know this was their song? I hate to admit but this is the version I'm familiar with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ALRLZQf42s Still good, mind you, but not as ... tempting. Can't compete with those sweet dance moves and deeeeeeeep bass voice.
Thanks for the education / enlightenment! Keep on keeping on.
P.S. Fearsome Beard's blog has inspired me to actively show gratitude. Without further ado ... THANKS, Warrior Queen for your great music selections and always ensuring your boyfriends' special occasions are acknowledged.
G'day, W.Q. My lengthy intended post has just vanished into the air so I won't repeat it all. Suffice to say hope you and everyone are fine, as are we four. We're suffering our first Arctic blast of the season now. Brrrrr. That, coupled with today being Guy Fawkes Day, there's every good reason to remain indoors. Have a fine w/e, regards to all, and we'll 'speak' to you later, With nervous fingers all crossed for the desired outcome on Tues, Byeeee!
all is well in this house on this sunny but cool sunday morning. hopefully you and yours got through guy fawkes day and the fireworks noise.
"With nervous fingers all crossed for the desired outcome on Tues" - same here; RTG and I are going to our voting location early (after 7a) to avoid the long lines.
This is a great song selection for the weekend before the election. You're right. Precious little has changed in this country since "Ball of Confusion" was in the top 3 on the U.S. charts in the summer of 1970. I want to thank Freckles for turning me on to the version by Love and Rockets which I don't think I ever heard/saw before. Tina Turner also recorded a cookin' cover:

Here's hoping we have something to celebrate when we wake up to America on the morning of Nov. 9.
but but but the rump sez: "early voting means the election is rigged against me!" what a dumbass!
I never thought I would see anyone other than a white male in the oval office in my lifetime. imagine a gay president, or an asian, or a hispanic - IT'S POSSIBLE!
Good morning AM! I've turned off the TV till Tuesday and have decide to watch only classic musical clips on you tube with lots of dancing until then. Thanks as this fits right in.
Hell, I still feel drunk or was that the intended feel here?!? Tootes, I have already voted and I'll be glad when this election is over. If I see one more ad, any more news, my mailbox stuffed with bird cage liner....i just may have another gin and scream my brains out! So tired of all the vicious stabbing from both sides from all levels of races. Now play another song can you? I think maybe a ABBA song will help, hahahaha
I already voted, but I can't wait for Tuesday night so I can finally put this election behind me. The dirty tricks in the past week or so have really soured me on politics. The GOP disgusts me. The FBI disgusts me. The mainstream media not only disgusts me, but they're a parody of what they once were.
I've never heard that song before, but it was fun to see the Temptations again. It was 39 degrees last night. Not exactly cold, but a wicked reminder that winter isn't far away.
Let's go to the Bahamas, get soused, and SKIP Tuesday.....
then you and I are almost the same age. we cannot early vote in PA; it's against the law (this state is so wards backass). NO ORANGE COSBY in this house!

Deletethe bass voice singer (melvin franklin) is the only one left from the original temptations lineup.
and I had never heard the version you mention.
back then dancing was everything...along with war protesting.
G'day, W.Q.

I never new what the name of that song was, VOTE-VOTE-VOTE. It has been a stressful couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteyes it has.
Delete"Vote for me and I'll set you free!"

I'm a 60-something white male and I would welcome that outcome if the candidate was qualified and espoused peace and unity.
Delete@SDK - RAMEN, bro!
Delete:)
DeleteI feel like I've just dropped an acid trip. This was back in the day when flares were called bell bottoms. Love it!
ReplyDeleteJP
and EVERYBODY wore bell bottom trousers back then!
DeleteGood morning AM!

your idea sounds fabu!

ReplyDeleteI just want to give 'em all this... 👎🏼😠👎🏼
In defense of the mainstream news media, they do an excellent job of reporting the hot new celebrity fashion trends.
Delete@RJ - gone are the days of walter cronkite and huntley/brinkly.
Delete@SDK - fashion and tv shows and other bullshit nonsense! THAT AIN'T NEWS!
Morning AM, from the Left Coast.
ReplyDeleteMy dad came through his New Knee surgery very well and is coming home today so all's well on "this" side!
YAYZ! good to hear this news!
DeleteHope we're still dancing after Tuesday.
ReplyDeletewe will be if we all vote!
DeleteSo Ball of Confusion is Planet Earth? I thought they were referring to someone's head. Charlie Sheen's ball looks pretty confused.
ReplyDeletedoes charlie sheen even HAVE balls?
DeleteI've never heard that song before, but it was fun to see the Temptations again.

aruba instead!
DeleteMy fear is the potential number of people who won't vote.
ReplyDeleteI know a few people like that. soldiers gave their lives for our freedom to vote. we owe it to them and to our country to perform our civic duty.
DeleteI was nine when this song came out. I remember seeing the Temptations on the Ed Sullivan show. Have a great one. RJJS
ReplyDeleteALL the great groups appeared on the ed sullivan show!

Great song! I was 15 when it came out. I already voted and can't believe there are so many who would vote for Orange Cosby.
ReplyDeletethen you and I are almost the same age. we cannot early vote in PA; it's against the law (this state is so wards backass). NO ORANGE COSBY in this house!
Deletemore grooviness.
ReplyDeleteright on, bro!
DeleteI am still numb and screamy and weepy and angry.
