Listen to: Bob And Earl – Harlem Shuffle
Steppenwolf – Born To Be Wild
The Archies – Sugar, Sugar
Quite the mix this year; cool Soul music brought to us by Bob And Earl, an absolute rocking jam by Steppenwolf and the crème de la crème of Bubblegum Pop by the session musicians in the guise of The Archies. I prefer “Sugar, Sugar” over the previous years’ entry “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy” by Ohio Express, simply due to the performance and writing. Rounding out the decade, there’s naughtiness in “Je T’aime… Mon Non Plus”, terrible predictions as heard in “In The Year 2525” and an Academy Award Winner in “The Windmills Of Your Mind”.
