With severe weather predicted I’ll be heading home to beat it. It doesn’t matter. Yesterday was a jackpot in oh, so many ways. So, before I head for home I’ll give you another song from my list of ten favorites with “baby” in the title. Get up and dance. Too Busy Thinking ‘Bout My Baby - Marvin Gaye Oh, you’re welcome. My late, lamented comedian friend, Tim Wilson, used to say that Marvin Gaye had THE GREATEST voice in soul music. Why? “‘Ah, mercy, mercy me.’ He’s singing a song about fish with mercury in their systems, and women are taking their clothes off to it as fast as they can get ‘em off!” Truth.

Keep your clothes on, ladies and enjoy one of the classic songs from one of the greatest voices we ever had the pleasure of hearing.
