      I beg to differ. Spector was the Willie Mitchell of West Coast Rock & Roll. He tried to emulate what was going on at Motown in Detroit and Stax in Memphis. Particularly with his girl group tracks.

    I can't believe that it's real
    The way that you make me feel
    A burning deep down inside
    A love that I cannot hide
    Our love is you and me, baby
    That make the world go round
    And if keeping you and loving you means
    Layin' all my troubles down
    Here I am, baby, come and take me
    Here I am, baby, won't you come and take me
    Take me by the hand, yeah
    Show me
    Here I am, baby
    It always ends up this way
    Me begging you every day
    A love that I cannot have
    You broke my heart into half
    Our love is you and me, baby
    That make the world go round
    Keeping you and loving you means
    Laying all my troubles down
    Here I am, baby, come and take me
    Here I am, baby, won't you come and take me
    Take me by the hand, yeah
    Squeeze it
    Here I am, baby
    When I'm down I can always call you
    For a helpin' hand
    I know you'll do the best you can
    But it don't take much for me
    Before my cup runs over
    All this love inside of me
    I believe there's going to be an explosion, yeah
    You can talk to me, oh baby
    I'm in no hurry
    Tell me all your troubles yeah
    And you won't ever have to worry, no
    And one more thing
    You just can't trust everybody
    Everybody you see, no no
    You'll find yourself lost and alone
    On a darkened street
    Here I am, baby, come and take me
    Here I am, baby, won't you come and take me
    Take me by the hand
    Show me, hey hey
    Take me, hey hey
    Show me, won't you?
    Here I am, baby, hey hey
    Take me, won't you?
    Teach me
    Baby, won't you take me by the hand?
    Teach me
    Here I am, baby

We know what those young men and women are going through. And the ones that are perpetrators of these wars don’t care. But the Viet Nam veterans care and we going to to keep talking about it and voting for those who want to stop them. That is why those veterans that were stationed in war zones don’t want to talk about it because it was HELL !!!

    I'm almost 35 yrs old, been an Al Green Fan since early 90's. I remember hearing his music on K-Earth 101 many times.
