Hi I’m Gail Nobles. Today’s topic is Soul Generation, an American R&B vocal group from Jersey City, New Jersey, which had a number of hits in the 1970’s, including Body and Soul ( That the Way It’s Got to Be), “ Million Dollars”, and “ I Wonder What She’s Doin”.
They sing like this
If I had a million dollars
I’d buy you love just to give you
And if I had a million bucks
I’d buy some love just to give to you
If I had a million dollars
The group was originally known as The Citations, The group was originally known as The Citations, and formed in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1970.
