Come on baby, let me thrill your soul
Come on baby, let the good times roll

Was before my era but was introduced to this hearing it in the car rides along with all other hits of the doo-wop and Mo-Town era. Seems like it woulda been a great era to grow up in. Great music with vocals and beats and just a great time period all-around with less distractions and no social media. Things meant more back then such as actually watching a sporting event since they were rarely televised unless was a playoff game in that respective sport. Great song!
