The point about Rosalind being the real glue behind Martha's power is spot on. Most people only hear the lead vocal, but those high soprano layers are what actually give Vandellas records their signature tension.

Heat Wave still hits like it was recorded yesterday. That brass intro paired with the backing vocals is pure Detroit energy you just don't get from modern production.

Glad @haveyoumetellie gave you the kick to keep writing ttt. Communities like Silver Bloggers survive because of exactly this kind of genuine engagement between people who actually listen to each other. The Hive you described from 5 years ago clearly never left; it just needed someone to remind you it was still there 🎶
