Sundays can be awesome, people. You have the whole day to yourself, you can go hang out by the sea even if the weather sucks and you're one step before winter, you can cuddle all day, you can eat all day, you can sleep all day and you can play top-notch tunes to make it even better. Like this one.
Bobby Nunn and Motown join powers and make this beautiful tune out of the second album of their collaboration, "Private Party".
Not even my runny nose and my 100 sneezes/second can bring me down while listening to its synth sound.

The Temptations have always been a part of the musical me since an early age, you know, when "My Girl" became a hit for us kids back in 1991 with the homonymous movie. I would really love it if I was born back in the '60s or earlier to catch these kind of tunes real-time, but then again I'd be like 50+ years old now and I would probably have no idea what an edit or a filter is. This is compensate thinking. I have a lot of those.
The previous week I attended a dance workshopconcerning dances from an even older time, from the '20s-'30's era with Stephen Sayer and Chandrae Roettig. During a party, these two amazing dancers, decided to dance smooth style lindy to THIS!
To catch a tune like that in a swing party (where I must say, as much as I love lindy hop, swing music isn't givin' me the chills) meant a complete and utter inner explosion. In addition to this, watching Steve&Chanzie dancing to it like that, really finished me off. Enjoy their dance here.
Bottom line: my heart belongs to disco, but my soul definitely goes with soul - and my feet with lindy hop. Weird. I know.

Back. But not for long. Gotta keep searchin' for my crown.
* "The idea is not that black, white or anyone is better, but that we all have our place. We've all made contributions - and mistakes too. Wearing the crown is reaching the top of your potential. You could be a writer or you could be a mechanic, but you can still wear the crown." -Gary Byrd
