Ball of Confusion

The Temptations released the song, “A Ball of Confusion” on the Motown label in 1970.  The song was featured on their Puzzle People album and was written by the team of Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong. The song was a political statement on the chaos and disorder with the pervading times.  The lyrics are still relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The lyrics, “ball of confusion, oh yeah, that’s what the world is today” can certainly be applied to the SARS-CoV-2 mutations, the spread of monkeypox, and the new cases of polio.
