My brand new mother-in-law danced to this at our reception. She took off her jacket and swung it over her head and let it fly! I will never be able to hear this song again without that picture in my head. What a woman...

Exactly, I've heard so many bad versions it is hard to hear the real one.. which is excellent. |

LOL!
That's just silly. Listening to RP for awhile will prove that notion wrong. |

We're all getting old, but that has nothing to do with the fact that they DO NOT make music like this anymore. I can still smell the spilled beer at the kegs we'd go to in 1966 at Geneseo, and dancing to this song. What a flashback. |

It's just that 30 years ago, you were either a good musician, who could really play real instruments and sing with their un-modified voices, or you didn't even get a look-in. Now, almost anyone with a bit of electronic know-how can produce a 'hit' that has little to do with real musicianship. Or no? |

Judging by the chorus, is this a tribute to the first female American astronaut?  |

Yeah I don't want RP to become an oldies station (as time marches on) but it'd be nice to hear more of the Stax sound.
