Episode #142: I Know You Know I Know

In our last "normal" episode of 2019 before we submit next week's show to the powerful Christmas SuperPAC, we take one more informed crapshoot with the Star Time SweetSpot® of the mid-to-late-'60s to mid-'70s, from when R&B was getting its first apartment until its first round of couples counseling. Personal favorites in this batch include a bruising hook by the Trammps, a few Presidents in a love triangle, a former Ink Spot going fuzz-psychedelic, and an incredible Chairmen Of The Board pop-gospel number.
