Mo' Music: Trippy Blast From The Past

 

!

One of my all-time favs-Vanilla Fudge's cover of the The Supremes "You Keep Me Hangin' On" which in my book, is arguably one of the best Supremes covers. Intense and tasty. While this  video from 1968 does not have the best sound or picture quality, the whole scene is a hoot. From the hopelessly square MC's lead-in to the dancers with the super-teased, lacquered hair and groovy boots to the cringe-worthy rocking-out writhing of the musicians. Check out the bass player-what the hell is he wearing? A cross between the 1930's evil Emperor Ming the Merciless and Dave Bowie's "man dress" from "The Man Who Saved The World". Far out man!
