♫ Lonely Teardrops ♫ (Redux)
David did a music post the other night, and this favourite of mine was one of his choices! Since I haven’t played it for a few years, I thought, “Why not?” If you have a minute, check out David’s post … he’s got some sweet treats on there!
Released in 1959, this was written by the Detroit songwriting team who wrote Wilson’s first several hits – the duo of Tyran Carlo (the pen name of Wilson’s cousin Roquel Davis) and a pre-Motown Berry Gordy Jr., along with Gwen Gordy Fuqua, one of Berry Gordy’s four sisters. They co-wrote eight other songs for Wilson. At the time, Gordy was a struggling songwriter, but this song – his first Top-10 hit as a songwriter – gave him the confidence to rent a building in Detroit and start the Tamla label, which would become Motown.
