It’s the best thing we’ve seen in a long, long time.

The Satintones were there at Hitsville in ’59 & ’60, when Berry Gordy was only beginning to build in Detroit what would eventually become that city’s musical Mt. Rushmore. When you’re lucky enough to even find an old Satintones 45 on eBay, your wallet better be heavy.
