Shop Around by The Miracles
“I had Zydeco Buckwheat loaded and ready to jam but came across The Miracles singing their part in #TakeMyAdviceWeek with the fabulous Nicholas Brothers dancing up a storm...these guys were amazing! Fred Astaire once told the brothers that the "Jumpin' Jive" dance number in Stormy Weather was the greatest movie musical sequence he had ever seen. Gregory Hines declared that if their biography were ever filmed, their dance numbers would have to be computer generated because no one now could emulate them. Mikhail Baryshnikov once called them the most amazing dancers he had ever seen in his life.”

Dinner with Emil and Amalie. Vine and boose. But no partying 'cause i'm ill. Damn.
musical advice from Mama, courtesy of Motown's the Miracles, this was released 54 years ago this week and went on the sell more than a million copies! Has always been one of my favs from Smokey and his gang too!
...because it was in my head when I woke up this morning. Sounds like this recording was made by putting a recorder up to a 45 player, but there's something charming in its naturalness, to hear the cracks and pops and hisses.
