THE MONITORS - "SAVE YOURSELF A CUP OF HAPPINESS"

Save Yourself a Cup of Happiness   (James Dean - William Weatherspoon) - 2:19    rating: **** stars

Another highlight off 1968's "Greetings! We're the Monitors" album, 'Save Yourself a Cup of Happiness' was the kind of track that would instantaneously fill a dance floor.  One of the late Richard Street's most impressive performances with Warren Harris, Maurice and Sandra Fagin providing delectable backing vocals.  I'm guessing the stunning bass line was from James Jamerson.
