"The disc-closing “Little Pink Notes” finds Gail and Early, in Gail’s words, 'channeling Harold Melvin, as we did our best to pay homage to the great soul records of the 70s.' They succeed in spades, with Early’s tasteful guitar bits and Gail’s gorgeous, soulful (of course) lead and backing vocals combining to make the tune a special treat." - JOHN M. BORACK, GOLDMINE MAGAZINE (DECEMBER 31st, 2014)
lyrics
Shoo da wop
Shoo da wop
Shoo da wop
Yes, you were the only one,
The only one, you were.
Yes you were my only one,
My only one
You were.
I’d follow you for days
I’d follow you for years
I’d follow you most everywhere
In a puddle of tears.
Yes, you were the only one,
The only one, you were.
Yes you were my only one,
My only one
You were.
Little pink notes
And hand drawn hearts
Tell me you’re very happy
Where ever you are.
Decades have passed
Our lives moved on
You were what right felt like
Before it went wrong.
Shoo da wop
Shoo da wop
Shoo da wop
La la la la la la la…..
