Close-up toothpaste for the close-up smile.

Cover: 
Led by 54-year old Pop, and his daughters Mavis,
Cleo, and Yvonne, the Staple Singers have a hit
with “Respect Yourself”.

Song note cont:
1. If she’d written this when she was 15, ok.I mean this is
Melanie Safka. But compare “Candles in the Rain” -> “Lay Down”.
Maybe it is a euphemism for sex. My theory is that the key is
for a car. (1) You buy a new set of skates, the key is included.
(2) “Don’t drive no car…”; “… who don’t drive…” [a car?]
17. Presbyterian gathering. The only 2 songs that everybody knew were:
(1) Amazing Grace” and (2) I’d Like to Teach the World…”


Album note cont:
FA. Apparently had a song included in Ssn 1, ep. 9 of “Bracken’s World” starring
