***A 50^th Anniversary, Of Sorts- Motown’s The Supremes’ Baby Love  

 

 

Frank Jackman comment:

In a world where the U.S. is ominously increasingly intervening in the civil war in Iraq, the Palestinians in Gaza stand practically defenseless against the Israeli juggernaut, and the flames of cop-driven racial hatred have surfaced in places as diverse as Ferguson, Mo and New York City commemorating the 50^th anniversary of the emergence of The Supreme and their string of great dance-worthy hits may seem a little out of place. But just a little as those of us from the Generation of ’68 remember back to those  dark night dances where the three good-looking black women formed the musical background to many a last chance, last dance promise of things to come. Now back to the world.
