The Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me
Tom Dowd was the best recording engineer ever and modern music owes him a great debt. This is the first song he recorded using eight-track. Artists and engineers nowadays have exponential tracks to work with but seldom do as much. The song itself I like for its quasi-misogynistic, jealous man POV lyrical content. That's what I got from it anyway; that the guy is telling his girlfriend to go ahead and get her kicks at the dance hall but not to get carried away. Prelude to a grudge fuck.
