Nice little fluff written by that old fluff-meister
himself........David Gates!!

I think he helped write "For all we know" that became a hit for the
Carpenters.
I mean, admittedly not oozing testosterone out of every pore, I
think David Gates rises above our resident sartorial minimalist's
"pussy" quotient on the rock scale, don't you?
What about it, Grossberg...............how do you dress up David
Gates?
Panties?
Your self styled Pajama shorts?
Dean Fiora's super stretch sans a belt?
What about it?

I hate that fucking Murmaids record, but I like Bread, really like
their uptempo "Let Your Love Go" in '70, where it got a great slot in
between two soul classics:
30 ¦ Express Yourself ¦ Charles Wright & Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band
31 ¦ Let Your Love Go ¦ Bread
32 ¦ Signed, Sealed And Delivered ¦ Stevie Wonder
In addition to the Murmaids' big hit Gates also produced
quite a few other singles with girl groups and female vocalists.
Some of these were obviously influenced by Phil Spector's
Wall of Sound productions, and many of them are rated highly
by the fans of the genre:
- Girlfriends: My And Only, Jimmy Boy (Colpix)
(A minor hit in 1963.)
- Dorothy Berry: You're So Fine / Cryin' On My Pillow (Challenge)
(A Wall of Sound version of the Falcons's hit with
a Gates-penned flip side that's also very good.)
- Merry Clayton: Usher Boy (Capitol)
(Clayton also had the original version of "It's In His Kiss".)
And here's another of Merry Clayton's Capitol sides that I just
discovered from YouTube (never heard this one before!):
Merry Clayton: Nothing Left to Do But Cry

Not that it's any of your business, Kojak, but I've lost 70 pounds in
the last five years.
Bread--yet ANOTHER garbage band.
You were decapitated?

Which leg?
Did Dennis shave his head or something?
He certainly ain't Greek.
He may be a geek, but not Greek.

Or a pound a month, which was the rate at which I gained so damned
much weight in the first place. (It took a decade for me to balloon to
300 pounds in 2004.) So I'd say I'm pretty much on schedule in the
weight-loss department.
Has Dennis grown back 4.3 ounces of his hair a week?
It IS my business, Buddy Hacket!!!
Now all you have to do is lose 70 more, baby!!
