Mustang Sally Dwm

Sixties music was so sublime. It was bell bottomed trousers and Motown time. The Tracks of My Tears and Ooh Baby, Baby Our dances to our parents seemed crazy. We would slow grind to Smokey’s croon or do the jerk to a Supremes’ tune. Afro hairdos swung to Temptations’ beat while America burned with racial heat. Soon we would form a Soul train line where you’d see dances of all kind hustles, shuffles, splits called ‘’james brown’’ “Mustang Sally, slow your Mustang down” 3/15/20 “Kim Rodrigues’ DWM Contest”

I loved this nostalgic look into the past Janis. I actually got to meet Smokey, one of my favorite singers on a flight, and I got to see the King of soul James Brown perform on a small stage in Arizona when I was in my middle teens. Wonderful memories. Thank you for returning them to me. xxoo
