iPod Essentials #23: "Who Loves You"--Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons

A surprise? Somewhat. But in honor of the JERSEY BOYS tickets, I ordered this morning, this song has made the list.

This semi-disco song is my second fave of the group. My first is "Can't Take My Eyes off of You." The boys in the band are older in "Who." Their voices have matured and solidified into a more harmonious blend. Besides, Valli's falsetto can get on my nerves at times, but it's downplayed here.

Besides, it's hard not to move while you listen to the groove.

iPod Essentials #22: "Bad Time"--Grand Funk

Hello, again--

My rotator cuff is not healing as quickly as my doctor and I had hoped, so I still have to limit my typing. Since I'm a writer with two manuscripts underway, I have to concentrate on those rather than my blogging.

But here I am with another installment of Essentials. Although "Bad Time" came out in 1974, it's still a great song. It's a nostalgic pining for an unrequited love. Harmonies abound. They just don't produce 'em like this anymore.
