Your favorite retro R&B show is back, ready to take on whatever 2021 catapults in its direction. Also back: America, coincidentally. The first
Star Time of the year is a paean to easy maintenance, a '60s R&B marathon stuffed with 38 songs, a number very close to our all-time record. Whenever you have a chance in the next few days, after you're finished exhaling and less frightened of your Twitter feed, give this would-be hit parade a sliver of your regard. Once more with feeling.
