I went down the YouTube rabbit hole (what else is new?), looking for new-to-me sounds from the stone-cold genius Lincoln Chase, a singular singer/songwriter that has been feeling very good on the ears lately.

However! I got sidetracked by going in deep with Lincoln’s collaborator/muse/partner, Shirley Ellis. An early project of theirs was the sillyawesome Name Game.

But listen to me, if there’s only one clip that you click on today, please make it The Clapping Song. Listen to the song! Look at those dancers!!

I don’t believe this is a L. Chase song, but still, so soully and bouncy. I’d love to be on stage and sing thing some time in my life.

PS: Lincoln, I’ll get back to you. I just went down a very seductively poppy side road tonight!
