    We're talkin' about a smooth crew called The Originals. These fellas were big shots on the Soul charts.

    In 1976, they decided to take a little trip. They packed their bags, dusted off their hearts, and slipped on their happy shoes! That's right, they were headin' **"Down to Love Town"**!

    This track is a solid gold disc-o-tech explosion! It's got that four-on-the-floor beat that makes you wanna move, mixed with their soulful roots. The dance floors went absolutely wild for it! It shot straight to the #1 spot on the Disco chart!

    America knew a good thing when they heard it. The single hit #93 on the Soul Charts (where The Originals had previously found their success) but had a better showing on the Hot 100, peaking at #47.

    So, if you've got the blues and you're lookin' for a cure, The Originals have your prescription. They're going down to a place where the music is hot and the good times are rollin'!
    This is Gail Nobles tellin' you to grab your someone special and get on down to Love Town!
    Thank you for listening to Soul POD Classics.

    Story by: Gail Nobles
    Keyboardist: Gail Nobles

    Today we got a sound from the Motor City! That's right, we're talkin' about the fabulous Temptations and their smash, "The Way You Do the Things You Do"!

    This was the big one, the shot heard 'round the world that put the Tempts on the map! Penned by the poetic genius himself, Smokey Robinson, along with his Miracle-mate Bobby Rogers, this tune is so smooth.

    Before this, those boys were hustlin'. But this record? **BAM!** It shot right up the charts, bustin' into the Top 20 and sittin' pretty at number eleven! It went all the way to the top, numero uno!

    But the wildest part? This song's got legs! It's been a hit in four... count 'em, **FOUR**... different decades! From the swinging 60s right through to the 90s! It's that timeless!

    Everybody wanted a piece of this action. Hall & Oates cut a version with the Tempts' own Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin that nearly snagged a Grammy! And then, dig this, a cool reggae crew from across the pond called UB40 took it and made it a smash all over again!

    So there you have it! A stone gas of a song that just won't quit! It's the Temptations with "The Way You Do the Things You Do"! This one's for all you lovers out there! Keep the record spinning. Don’t let go of that tune.

    There’s a song that’s filled with rhythm and soul! Let’s dive into the musical magic of the Spellbinders!, “Chain Reaction" may not have hit the Hot 100, but it went all the way up to the number 18 spot on the Bubbling Under Hot 100, proving that nothing can keep a good tune down! Released in 1966 as part of their album *The Magic of*, this track had all the right ingredients — soaring harmonies.

    The Spellbinders had a modest but mighty run on the charts, bringing their sweet sound not just to American shores but also to Canada and the UK. Their debut single, "For You," made its mark by climbing to No. 23 on the R&B charts and even flirting with the Pop charts at No. 93! It's proof that the Spellbinders captured the heart of the groove-loving public!

    This group was no wallflower! They hit the road and turned up the heat, touring alongside legends like Arthur Conley, Joe Tex, and the inimitable Jackie Wilson. They even took their show across the pond, making waves in the UK in 1965 and 1966. You couldn’t catch a breath in the high-energy atmosphere of the legendary Manchester Twisted Wheel, where their Northern Soul vibes drew in fans from all over. Legend has it that the guitar slinger himself, Jimi Hendrix, traveled north just to catch the Spellbinders live! That’s how you know they were creating some serious buzz!

    And let’s not forget their appearances on the iconic *Top of the Pops*! What a thrill to be beamed into living rooms across Britain. Although "Chain Reaction" and another groovy tune, "Help Me," may not have exploded into the mainstream at the time, they found a passionate life among Northern Soul enthusiasts. The UK scene embraced their irresistible rhythms and heartfelt lyrics with open arms, keeping the Spellbinders’ legacy alive!

    The Spellbinders were a bustling part of the soul and rhythm narrative of the '60s! So let’s keep spinning those records and celebrate the sounds that shaped our souls!
