Saturday

Was on the Rolling Stones 1967 "Flowers" album, which I got for Christmas at 14. I had never heard the Temptations 1964 version; maybe it wasn't played on WBZ Boston or maybe, at 11 years old, I wasn't paying attention. When I finally heard The Temptations sing "My Girl", I was blown away and also really mad that I'd wasted years listening to the Stone's version.
