Whoaaaaaa, man. This might be the nutmeg tea talkin', but we're seeing double. Two episodes with twice the requisite amount of Lads. It's time for the exciting conclusion of our conversation with '60s psych-pop pioneers the Strawberry Alarm Clock. in which we discuss our Top 5 songs that best represent the psychedelic era.

I'm In Love With That Song: The Temptations "Just My Imagination"
05/08/2026 | 26 mins.
By 1970, the "Psychedelic Soul" movement was beginning to wane, leading producer Norman Whitfield and The Temptations to return to their ballad roots—but with a sophisticated, dream-like twist. This episode deconstructs the instrumental layers of “Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)” and explores the brilliant production of Whitfield, the legendary contribution of The Funk Brothers, and the heartbreaking reality behind the lyrics. This episode serves as a bittersweet tribute to a group at a crossroads, marking the final appearances of both Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams.

Beyond the music, this episode explores the history of The Temptations during this recording session. As the classic lineup began to fracture, the song became a final curtain call for Eddie Kendricks’ ethereal falsetto and features Paul Williams’ single poignant line. Let’s celebrate the enduring legacy of a song that remains one of the most perfect three-minute stories ever committed to tape.
