The Impressions and Kool and the Gang at Head’s Palladium

This one made me pause a second. I was unfamiliar with The Impressions till I looked up their songs and recognized a lot of them. Plus, they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! I was more excited about Kool and the Gang, since they were a big part of my 80’s childhood (Ladies Night is my jam!). This happened in 1972 *cough” theyearIwasborn* *cough*. They were inducted in the Hall of Fame in 2024.

I have just noticed that the Monroe News Leader from 1968 to 1973 is digitized and searchable on Newspapers.com. You can access it at home through our website (https://www.oplib.org/history-databases) and your library card!
