musicology #341 The Shirelles - Will You Love Me Tomorrow early mod classic from original Soul girl group. The dialogue is the morning after Eddie and Sarah 'hook up' and she offers him the opportunity to cut and run. of course our man isn't that shallow so dismisses her obvious show of self contempt.. themusicologist.wordpress.com
