I was first introduced to this song through NPR's end of the decade podcast about a year and a half ago, which is fantastic (highly suggested). This song is obviously not from the past decade, but actually from 1968. Carrie Brownstein explained that the past decade was truly remarkable because of the internet, most specifically youtube. One can now hear something and view/listen to it immediately, which is truly something to marvel at. So, long story short, I loved "Hold Me Closer" when I first heard it, but seemed to forget about it for about a year, until yesterday I was stumbling around the intertubeweb and BOOM! I find The Equals' "Hold Me Closer." For those of you who aren't familiar with The Equals, they are a North London based soul/pop band who came to popularity in Europe during the mid 1960's. While "Hold Me Closer" never reached the acclaim that "Baby Come Back" did, it is still a truly fantastic fun party song. I love it!
