"I'd much rather be with the girls..
...than with boys like you" yodels Donna Lynn.

It's track 49 or so of "One Kiss Can Lead to Another" a 4-CD Rhino masterpiece that's been the soundtrack of my journey to work these last few days.
Utterly brilliant, although there are very few hits on it, and very few songs I know, every song I've played so far has been a gem.
One such is Toni Basil's first record "I'm 28" recorded in 1966 when she was 23. An obscure Graham Gouldman song, it brought me up short this morning when it rhymed "unguent" with "pungent". You don't hear that every day, and either word would be a knockout if you were playing one-word Name That Tune.

Best track so far - Carole King's demo of "Crying in the Rain".
