My sister’s been married twice. Her first nuptial took place
when I was about 12 years old and it was a hokey-looking strip-center event
center that had the accordion tuck-away walls that opened to a small dance
floor and the reception area.
The center had music playing and “Groovin’” by The Rascals
played. As we listened, my brother-in-law (another sister) and I wondered why a
love song would include the lyrics “you and me and Leslie.”
Eighteen years later and I finally learned that the lyrics
were “… you and me endlessly.”
The Rascals were arguably the first “blue-eyed soul” band.
Which means you’re white and you’re trying to sound black.
