Answering email. There& #39;s a lot of it to answer.

Here& #39;s another good example of Detroiters & good B-sides/album tracks that are almost never an artist& #39;s greatest hits, which often get played out. https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1255514430860820481">https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewi...

Detroiters will ballroom AND ballroom hustle to anything that has the right beat to step to. *Anything.*

This has the right beat, so it& #39;s been played for almost 40 years and counting.

I famously "don& #39;t go out" but have heard this 1000 times. (1001...) https://youtu.be/-GrTbhOvB9U ">https://youtu.be/-GrTbhOvB...

You need either a moderate beat or a slow one. Marvin& #39;s "Come Get to This" is a slow one.

Still working on my story, but I put Marvin in it for a reason. This is 100% Detroit ballroom. It& #39;s been remade a lot. LJ has done it. Joe did a cover 10 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoPdsMM7Zeo">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Our parents ballroomed and stepped to the Enchantment classic (slow ballroom), and then a neosoul version back in my heyday was popular (moderate).

Even I& #39;ve taken my two left feet out on the dance floor & ballroomed once or twice to this track, lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQDcJBrLcNQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

It& #39;s frustrating. There& #39;s still an entire soul aesthetic + cultural nuance that doesn& #39;t really travel that much outside the Midwest, I guess.

Oh well. But 3 and a half minutes in, that part? And then the octave jump?

That& #39;s it. *That& #39;s Detroit.* Still. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT_Qul9Qyqg">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

You can leave Detroit, but it never leaves you.

Told a friend that years ago when he left. Now, I& #39;m gone, too. But, like we always say, we& #39;ll be back home one of these days! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
