Track of the week 10/9/17
Another great big hunk of cheese.
I wasn’t supposed to like this track – being a relatively cool kid into The Jam, The Smiths, Simple Minds etc., but I’ve always loved it. Didn’t tell anyone, though.
I’ve always been a Soul Boy at heart and not only is this a sweet, sweet soul track, it is a celebration of two great soul legends – Jackie Wilson and Marvin Gaye. And they’re both pretty cool, so anyone singing about them has to be doing something right.
Maybe next week’s TotW will be ABC’s “When Smokey Sings” – watch this space.
Gonna miss your sweet voice
That soulful voice
On the nightshift
We all remember you
Ooh the songs are coming through
At the end of a long day
It’s gonna be okay
On the nightshift
You found another home
I know you’re not alone
On the nightshift
