    Sometimes you got the gravelly voice of David Ruffin "I Wish It Would Rain"

    My first job out of high school was working at a local drug store (Dart Drug.)

    The manager was a big Temptations fan, and he would play their "All Directions" cassette over the store's loudspeaker system after closing. I've heard "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" enough to last several lifetimes...the whole 12 minute track of it!!

    The assistant manager was a Jerry Butler fan, so we heard that on the days he was closing the store. You asked elsewhere about our ear worms. "He Don't Love You" is now rattling around my head, looking for an exit.

    At John Brunner

    The Jerry Butler fan must've had a collection of his oldies if the song was "He Will Break Your Heart." Fall 1960.

    Oh Lord, please take me back there ... and leave me there. Happy Days.

    Yup. But I always remind myself that there are two drivers of such memories:

    -The music (or the movie)
    -The time of my life they played a role in

    As an aside, you can "tag" somebody so that they will receive notification that you have done so, along with a link to that comment.

    Just type in an ampersand @ and then start typing the User Name. Once you type 3 letters, the system will give you a list you can choose from.

    You can tag more than one person in a comment.
