Ain't Too Proud is a catalog musical in more ways than one. It's not just a collection of fabulous tunes by the legendary R&B vocal group from Detroit; it also includes a list of historical footnotes yoked to Otis Williams' self-affirming CV. Fans of me will be elicitly excited by the company's renowned psychedelic spirit, tinkling cymbals and murmuring wah-wah pedals. All of these popsicle numbers, including My Girl and Just My Imagination, have devolved into popsicle numbers like My Girl and Just My Imagination. But it's the darker songs, like Ball Of Confusion and Papa Was A Rollin' Stone, that make you thump in the solar plexus. These and others, as well as a bonus Supremes medley, are all performed with physical vigor and vocal dexterity by Sifiso Mazibuko as Otis.
