The iCan't Get ________ Brothers

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Ira Gershwin/Vernon Duke  




I sold my kisses at a bazaar 
After me they named a cigar 
But lately how I've smarted 
Because I can't get started with you 

  









Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong
I Can't Get Next To You
(1969)
Performed by the Temptations



I can build a castle from 
A single grain of sand
I can make a ship 
Sail on dry land
But...I can't get next to you


Vernon Duke and  Ira Gershwin







Norman Whitfield  and Barrett Strong














 Four brothers from different mothers

sang along to Vernon Duke's  Cello Concerto.
