Keith is going nuts and the drummers have a swing in their shoes. FANTASTIC version that needs some love.

Absolutely flabbergasted this isn't on here. An incredible version from Barton Hall. Brings tears to my eyes.

Funky is right. This is a great slice of uptempo Smokey Robinson-esque R&B. Great early version!

It’s this high because people like it. Nothing more complicated than that. Even though I wouldn’t put this version in my top 10, I find this one to be SUPER enjoyable throughout, hence my upvote. You don’t need any more reason to give it a thumbs-up. I’m sure most people here would say the same. That’s the thing about taste…it’s always subjective.

Wrong date. This was played on the 19th, not the 20th. There's a reason it's not listed here.

Again, this song wasn't played on this date. It's from the 19th, not the 20th. Filler on Dave's 35.

Because this song wasn't played on this date - it was played on the 19th, and included as filler on Dave's 35.
