    Haven't read the review yet, but I just listened to the song. If anything, Samp's 2/10 rating was overly generous.

    And many of Samp's 8+/10 ratings are misleading for novice oldies fans
    if one compares these artist-songs with later R&B records up to, say,
    1962.

    He's trying to say that the everyday idiots out there who like "oldies" are more likely to like mainstream hits from 1962 than R&B records from 1952.

    Duh.
