This 1971 record by Marvin Gaye has been adored by many, including my father, who raised me with these tracks playing in the background.

I want to yodel
“I want to learn to yodel,” said Natalia as she was walking out of the room. I laughed. It’s always just the crazy things you say you want to try, but you never actually do. I say it, you say it, Natalia says it too. You go to a concert of your favorite music band…
