It's been over a year since I posted on DW, and I'm thinking it's time to renew my DW presence. I am cross-posting by default, so I expect that my content on DW will largely overlap with - but not entirely duplicate - my content on LJ, and vice versa.

(For the record, I am asher63 [http://asher63.livejournal.com/] on LJ and asher553 [https://asher553.dreamwidth.org/] on DW.)

I've added a number of new friends on both journals - welcome! - and I expect to be posting regularly. Shavua tov!

A little Motown for your Saturday night.

"The four tops - Standing in the shadows of love" (Watch on YouTube)

This 1966 song by the Four Tops was another big hit for the gifted and prolific songrwiting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland. Their first breakthrough came after Eddie Holland gave up his performing career to join his brother Brian and Lamont Dozier, with 1963's 'Heat Wave' performed by Martha and the Vandellas.

Baritone Levi Stubbs (1936-2008) was the lead singer for the Four Tops but never sought top billing, out of solidarity with his bandmates.
