This is the 21st song in the Play It Again Mayhem series, which began in 2020. Check out the previous entries along with this new one in the Play It Again Mayhem Spotify Playlist click here to take a listen! So far, 15 of the 21 songs are from the 1970s. But this one was released in 1968, although it was reissued in the UK in the 1970s after it became popular on the Northern Soul circuit. It is the incredibly talented Archie Bell and the Drells from Houston, Texas, with “(There’s Gonna Be A) Showdown”. Gotta love a song tile with parentheses, right? The song is about a dance showdown which is obvious when you hear lyrics like “I know I’m good, so you better be better. When you get out on the floor, you better have your steps together“. This tune really takes me back to my youth. I love it, do you?
