Ball of Confusion- Artist Jerry Thompson
Hard to believe it’s March first. With the snow falling and the cold temperatures, it definitely looks to be following the old adage where it comes in like a lion. I am hoping the lamb is not too far away but this year, who knows? We might be saying the same thing for April.
Crazy world. Which brings me to this Sunday’s musical interlude. I’ve been doing this blog for about 6 1/2 years now (which is hard to believe, as well) and have played a lot of different music over that time. But for some unknown reason, the one and only Temptations have never made an appearance. How I could have waited so long is beyond me but I will fix it today.
For many folks, the music of the Temptations could well be the soundtrack of the 60’s and 70’s. Motown at its very best. If you grew up in that time frame, their music most likely was part of your life in some way. My Girl, Just My Imagination, Papa Was a Rolling Stone, Ain’t Too Proud to Beg, and on and on. I mean, come on!
So today, with another blast of winter weather confusing this corner of the world and the rest of the world in a constant state of chaos, I thought I’d share the tempting Temptations’ Ball of Confusion. If the world is indeed going to hell as some fear, at least let it go with a beat laid down by the Funk Brothers, Motown’s incredible band of musicians who performed the music on this and so many other immortal hits. Have a great Sunday!
