That was almost my favorite song. I remember it blasting from an old GM car radio I installed on my souped-up go-cart as I terrorized the city of Richardson... That was about where my gearheadedness began. 
The year was 1987. My mom's new Olds CS 4-door was then a year old and she wouldn't let me play any GOOD tapes when i rode with her... "Billy Jean" on the complementary Olds tape was the 'wildest' she would allow.
Ahhh... 1987 - the best year of my life... 
NOW, back to the '60s! |
"In the still of the Night" was a 1956 recording from The Five Satins and was frequently played in the early 1960's as a "moldy oldie." Every time I hear that version of the song it reminds me of cruising around town in my friends 1932 Ford 5 window coupe powered with a not exactly stock '56 Olds power plant sporting 8 (yeah 8) Stromberg 97 2bbl carburetors on an Offenhauser log manifold. Tranny was a floor shifter out of a 1937 LaSalle. Wasn't a car of any kind that could touch that thing within 50 miles. What a ride!
