“The End Of Our Road” #15 3/9/1968

Gladys Knight and the Pips scored again with this Penzabene-Whitfield-Strong composition that made the R&B Top 5. Video is from the syndicated Mike Douglas daytime show, straight from the basement of Philly’s KYW-TV. (Watch for the next segment’s promo at the end of this clip.) In an ironic twist for a song with such a title, Marvin Gaye’s remake became the very first record played on Casey Kasem’s “American Top 40” syndicated radio program in July 1970, coming in at #40. And what happened to those pictures I was supposed to see? Is Don on the phone? Radio people will get that reference. Best. Rant. Ever.
