FOR THE RECORD, WIP: Marcella Detroit

I was put on the spot by my young son, who asked what my favourite song of all time was. As he wasn't interested in the response I gave, (which you might expect me to give); "Oh, that's impossible to answer / so many songs / depends on my different moods", he ignored all that, and demanded the answer. I found myself offering Marcella Detroit's I Believe. Who knew?
