3. *now take it slow...

" Tighten up " was a hit in San Francisco the Summer of Love I believe...... it was blasting everywhere. I had an x rated experience on Alameda Beach with that blasting from a car in the parking lot :)

7. Hi, I'm Archie Bell

from the Drells, from Houston, TX,
and we not only sing, but we dance just as good as we want.
In Houston, we just started a new dance called the "Tighten Up."
This is the music we tighten up with.

NOW MAKE IT MELLOW!

8. I thought he said

"We dance just as good as we walk". hmmm.

Anyhow, I met a Drell (can't remember which one) when I was in Memphis a few years ago. I think his band was playing at the Rum Boogie Cafe. I would've gone, but I had tickets to see Bonnie Raitt that night.

9. Sounds like "want"

on the 45 I have. Then again, just 'cause it sounds like one thing to me doesn't mean it isn't really something else....

...including both parts of "Tighten Up."
