Such is the case with today's Gene Marshall feature, "Love's End". Plenty of song-poets went for "clever", few that I've heard succeeded as well as does Elsworth J. Leach, here. This is not award winning stuff, but it did bring a smile to my face. I'll not say any more...

The flip side, "What Good Are the Laws?" is, as the title suggests, a complaint against some of the many things that are wrong in the world, and just as enjoyable as that description suggests, despite another warm, winning vocal from Gene Marshall.

Not much on the B side, but the A is very creative! At first, I thought this was going to be a peppy little number about dressing up one's love for burial, but I'm glad it was a little bit more "up" then that. These 1970/71 Gene Marshall "slightly funky" records are a really interesting subgenre. Thanks!
Absolutely CLASSIC. BOTH sides are primo, my man...
.. and there was me thinking it might be about a blow-up doll.
