#4 "I Was Made To Love Her"
I've taken this song in so many drafts here, there's not much new for me to add in comments about it. Coupla things, though:
1. I've always wondered if Suzy was white (or if the singer's family was rich and hers was poor) based on the parents' disapproval of the relationship.
2. There's no real verse/chorus structure on this record. It's just keeps winding up and winding up - like a Sugar Ray Leonard bolo punch on eternal loop.
3. This is yet another example of a '60s song by a black artist that has a wonderful guitar line, but it often gets lost when discussing the song because there's not endless wankery like......oh, I don't know....let's pick someone entirely at random.......I just opened the dictionary and the word "Clapton" came up.
4. Stevie Wonder lets out one of the best non-James-Brown screams in rock history on this one. He was like 16 or 17 years old.... it's not fair.
