This is one of my longtime favorite doowop songs (it makes me cry), and I didn’t know until today that someone had put it on YouTube:

Fascinatingly, the author (Van McCoy) later achieved national fame for that 70s disco song “The Hustle.”
A song I absolutely hated, but which made millions.
I don’t mean to fault success, but does that mean I have to like what succeeds?

Lovely,
I was putting stuff like this (45s) on juke boxes in the summer of ’58.
Very nice do wop.
If at first you don’t succeed, keep on suckin’ ’til you do succeed.
I believe the proper spelling for rock is:
Suckseed.
That is one fine song. [No, I am not talking about The Hustle.]
