by Chris Kenner (1961)
There’s probably no way to get around the dorkiness of getting reacquainted with a song through the local Starbucks. I should probably lie for street cred and say I heard this long forgotten song again at some boutique you’ve never heard of but no. It was me and a really loud off duty firemen, both getting excited about the 1961 Chris Kenner hit, I Like It Like That, a song that reminds me of my pre-teen 1950’s obsession. Stand By Me had just come out, my sister (who had converse with “I Love River Phoenix” doodles on them) and I nearly wore through the tape of the white cassette soundtrack and almost like an answer to my little girl prayers, a glorious place called Fuddruckers had opened at a local strip mall.
But what do you think?
