Shakey Ground - The Temptations

Shakey Ground - The Temptations
4:02
A Song For You, 1975
Written by Jeffrey Bowen, Alphonso Boyd, Eddie Hazel

Gee, I guess the Temptations turned super funky in their later years.  I mean, they were always about the psychedelic soul, but this song thumps like a Funkadelic track.  Which isn't too far off, as I later found out, because Funkadelic bassist Billy Nelson plays on it.  This song, once you get past the wall of funk, is a a "baby left me" song.  He's got bad luck, man.  "Girl, you better throw me a life preserver / 'Cause I'm about to drown in my own tears."
