Still Diggin Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 25 minutes ago, Soul Salad said: Had to laugh Still diggin, Harold Melvin especially "Get out" is the opposite of what i think the posters thread question was, Both great songs though Yes, you are infact correct, I failed to see the bit about 'before the singing starts' perhaps the lyrics play a major part in my appreciation of soul, hense my oversight. Not sure I would call it the opposite, just a misinterpretation of the thread. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
