Whenever I get an email asking for information that has already been provided to the requester, the first thing that comes to mind is “now, reading is fundamental,” a quote from the movie Class Act. I loved that movie as a kid, though I haven’t seen it in a very long time. A couple of weekends ago, I tried looking for it on streaming services but came up emptyhanded. While looking, though, so many quotes and scenes started coming to mind, one of which was a scene where one of the main characters tries to teach the other to dance. That got this Spinners song stuck in my head, though it’s actually used as a sample in a different song in the scene.
