Hi I\\u2019m Gail Nobles. Today\\u2019s topic is Soul Generation, an American R&B vocal group from Jersey City, New Jersey, which had a number of hits in the 1970\\u2019s, including Body and Soul ( That the Way It\\u2019s Got to Be), \\u201c Million Dollars\\u201d, and \\u201c I Wonder What She\\u2019s Doin\\u201d.

They sing like this

If I had a million dollars
I\\u2019d buy you love just to give you
And if I had a million bucks
I\\u2019d buy some love just to give to you
If I had a million dollars
