Thank You Random Citizen

We don’t often post pre-captioned funnies, but we’ll make an exception for this one because he’s got a good confident attitude, his girlfriend is hot, and he made a drive-up window employee smile.

Saturday Matinee – Monkey Business, Blood Sweat & Tears, & Brenda Holloway

Monkey vs. vending machine. [Found here.]

Blood Sweat & Tears had a long string of hits in the 60s and 70s that included this one. “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy” was a cover of a song co-written by Brenda Holloway at Motown Records.

Here’s Brenda Holloway lip-synching “When I’m Gone” on the TV show Shivaree in 1965.

That should do it for this week’s video presentation. Have a great weekend, folks.
