Another overlooked band-The Undisputed Truth
I was mesmerized the first time I heard them back in the summer of 1972, getting high with my baby in the backseat of some brother's MarkIII on the Milwaukee Lakefront.
Norman Whitfield had a lot to do with their original sound...they kinda got freaky later.

1. Smiling faces
How apropos is that song today with the bush cabal in power? I didn't know that *Taka Boom* was part of the group at one time. Damn! B-)

3. Norman Whitfield was the master of paranoid songwriting...
"Smiling Faces" AND "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"

Thanks for the link!

4. He was another overlooked genius in my book, mitchum.
One of many, I'm glad you remember his work!
