Truth

[@amandaking714]

You ain't never lied. This kind of talent got shoved out for garbage that I refuse to call music. Noise maybe, but this is the real music. Beautiful and soulful and all about love. This garbage they touting today as music, is at best, a pitiful attempt at sounds. No horn sections, no guitars, no drums, just noise. Sorry but this is my taste and to each his own.

[@arthurtagle7546]

Summer of 1967, my girlfriend at the time called me and told about this song, and she played it for me
