John Lovick Turner - Who Ruined the Radio Lyrics

Marvin Gaye was in my dream last night
At the foot of my bed dressed in white
Rubbin' his eyes like he'd been cryin'
When he spoke I could feel a weight on his mind
He said man talk to me you got to tell me how long
The AM and the FM have been one big yawn
I came back here hopin' you might know
Brother brother

Tell me

What happened to my funky grooves
Where did all the soul men go
The Memphis horns and the Philly strings
(Who ruined it)
Who ruined the radio
What about my Motown Sound
I looked high and low and it can't be found
Who decided to cancel that show
What happened son who ruined the radio

Can you tell me when the lights went out
When the Brothers stopped singin' Twist and Shout
(Yeah yeah yeah)
That's the kind of song that I really miss
Makes you feel so good you just can't resist
I talked to Sam Jackie Otis and Ray
They told me to tell you they feel the same way
So take your time and tell me blow by blow
(What happened son)
Tell me who ruined the radio

What happened to my funky grooves
Where did all the soul men go
The Memphis horns and the Philly strings
(Who ruined it)
Who ruined the radio
(I wanna know)
What about my Motown Sound
I looked high and low and it can't be found
Who decided to cancel that show
What happened son who ruined the radio

Na na na na
A loud noise woke me up
I pulled the cover up over my head
It was the sound of a DJ's voice yeah
And he was readin' the mornin' news
(And gas prices went up again)
I heard him say the number one song is comin' up next
(Number one song in the country in just three minutes)
I reached over to my bedside table
(Number one for four weeks on the charts)
And I hit snooze
(I want to know)

What happened to my funky grooves
Where did all the soul men go
The Memphis horns and the Philly strings
(Who ruined it)
Who ruined the radio
What about my Motown Sound
I looked high and low and it can't be found
Who decided to cancel that show
What happened son who ruined the radio

What happened to my funky grooves
(Who ruined it)
Where did all the soul men go
The Memphis horns and the Philly strings
(Who ruined it)
The Motown sound I wanna know
