From That Girl on Cleveland Love:

michelle and i are talking when suddenly we stop. because we hear this singing coming from four of the girls at the table behind us. they’re doing some old gospel-sounding song, splitting off into four-part harmony and while they’re trying to find the pitch the first time, it sounds beautiful and i’m almost crying because with the sounds of the wind and the waves and the storm, it sounds divine.the guys come back from the washroom and say they want to sing too. at first they’re rapping some top-40 stuff, but shift gears quickly into motown. they’re singing marvin gaye. when they see me sitting there mouthing the words they get all excited and tell me to come over and sing with them, my dismal white-girl rhythm and all…

Cleveland Love: i got sunshine…
