December, 1967: My grade-school (6th Grade) class and our teachers went to a local roller-skating rink for a pre-Christmas party.
Instead of organ music, the rink played uptempo rock and soul records.
When the rink played the Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense and Peppermints", I (a klutz on skates) went off to the side, took off my skates, and began dancing. One other boy (and three or four girls) had done the same thing.
The next record they played was this one ("Soulfinger"), which kept me dancing!
Probably the happiest five minutes of dancing I had as a child.
