My friend was a huge 60’s garage collector and I recall the day he purchased this 45 from a seller in Goldmine in 1979. I was there when it arrived and he played it for me as I had never heard it. Loved it ever since.

Every single inch of groove on this single is perfect. Moments of magic happen every now and then in a studio and this is one fine example.

In the 1960s, seventies and eighties, my parents were sold on Oldsmobile and we had a 1965 Jetstar 88, a 1970 Delta 88, a 1976 Cutlass Supreme and a 1986 Cutlass Supreme Brougham. Taking a man's Oldsmobile is a sin! ;-)

My first car was a 1989 Oldsmobile 88 that I bought for $250 cash in 2010 when I was a senior in high school. Whenever I'd try to buy parts, I got so sick of the guy behind the counter asking "so is it an 89 or an 88?" But she ran so great. And was built like a tank. My buddies always called her the Love Machine hahaha Anyways, great lick. This song kicks.
