I'm going off the beaten course to dig up an old memory with this one, remembering back in the early years of DoWop when I was around 13 years old when radios were using vacuum tubes instead of electronics. Around that time I was listening to a local radio station when there was this certain song that stopped me in my tracks. This period was just before Motown hit the airwaves with the Miracles with songs made for blue light basement parties. Songs like "Bad Girl" and "Who's Loving You" just to name a couple. And for the guys who wanted to make an impression on a girl and steal her heart simultaneously, there was one song that could do it just before Motown broke out in the early '60s. There was a song by a group called The Skyliners, "Since I Don't Have You", which was introduced to the airwaves in 1959. This must have started more love affairs than any song played that can be imagined. Well, relationships have changed since then and that's too bad, those were some memorable years and we will never see them again.
The Year is1969, and the song, "Since I Don't Have You"
