The Presidents
“5-10-15-20 (25-30 Years of Love)” (Sussex) 1971
by Wax Poetics
The Presidents were another D.C.-based Sussex act with a strong affinity for Chi-Lites-style harmonies and a unique understanding of parentheses usage. This 1971 ode to matrimonial bliss might seem lyrically asinine, but consider the crisp rhythm section and impeccable harmonies and you might just tear up a little.
