🎧 A post I read today triggered memories of the year my Dad was in Vietnam.

I was 12. Dad parked me, pregnant Mom and 3 sibs in a tiny Southern town, and I was miserable. Almost any song from that year that I loved chokes me up. I searched the Billboard charts for 1969, and one song stood out from that Summer.

"What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)
#JrWalkerAndTheAllStars

#EddieFM #Soul #Motown #Tamla #60s

The first time I heard this song was in Brussels c. 1982; a guy who was a musician played this record for me, and I was hooked.
