** i like Dr C's a lot - Dr C, have you started threads on all those songs? **

Thanks! I have started threads on the ABC (more like embarrassing splurge about how much I love the song), The Flirtations, and Uptown. I think I wrote a little bit about At Last I Am Free in a Chic thread a while back. Will link later.
