FOUND IT

Pastorius said...

I like that.

Let's see if my musical powers are still strong and accurate; that's 1966, right?

Pastorius said...

My powers are way off.

I looked it up and find the song is by Lieber/Stoller and it was released in 62.

Hmm.

That's interesting for a number of reasons.

Seems to me this song was a little ahead of it's time.

It kind of has that Fifth Dimension sound, and the film style looks mid-to-late 60's to me.

I mean, I recognize the Motown imitation element, but hmm...

Well, I was wrong, and no one else in the world will care, other than me.

It also sounds a bit like Leslie Gore, and I find that Gore's It's My Party was released in 63, which is when I would have expected it to have been released.

Why is it Tell Him sounds later to me? Any thoughts?
