Riff: Foster Sylvers – “I’m Your Puppet”

Sep 18, 2014

Pull them little strings and I’ll sing you a song, I’m your puppet/Make me do right or make me do wrong, I’m your puppet/Treat me good and I’ll do anything/I’m just a puppet an you hold my string, I’m your puppet/Yeah, I’m your puppet

from I'm Your Puppet lyrics by Foster Sylvers

There are plenty of versions out there, but the Jackson 5 spin-off featuring Foster Sylvers as MJ is the undisputed champion. The opening break is covered in sweet cotton candy and only a child can deliver these innocent words without sounding like a weird creep. Bubblegum pop at its finest.
