Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul – Forever
All,
Totally Motown Soul feel. Love that cha-chink guitar that waits a bit to come in. Highlights the potential importance of bass guitar.
Forever is a long time.
Alan, Bill & Dave,
I think this is the feel I was looking for on Lonely Thread.
The Outsiders – Time Won’t Let Me
Well known. Am interested to give it a focused listen.
He “can’t wait forever.”
What a classic riff. Again with the bass and love that (farfisa?) organ. Nice exaltation leading into the guitar solo. Good use of the various horns. Never gets old.
“Forever”/Little Steven & Disciples. Following on Ed’s comment, if you’d told me this was Motown cover, I’d have no reason to doubt you. He’s merely an adequate lead singer, but this has a classic feel, sounds like it’s always been there — and I see it was a minor hit, so I might well have heard it on MMR or whatever back in the day.
“Time Won’t Let Me”/The Outsiders. A relentless bass line drive this golden oldie, urged along by a percolating guitar riff and prods from the horn section. Another great sing-along chorus. I see they’re considered “garage rock,” but this sounds like blue-eyed soul to me. Just a well-crafted track.

Songs pair well.
